The biggest reason I dislike Open Office is the amount of time that you waste fighting the auto-formatting that OO inflicts on you (MS O will do that as well, but is a little more mature about it); plus the ever-present crashes. (I've wasted a lot of time because OO crashed repeatedly while trying to spellcheck documents [of only several dozen pages, with very few misspellings]). Much as I hate to admit it, MS Office is a lot better than it used to be. Word Perfect is still probably better yet; but AFAIK isn't readily available for Linux anymore. I have some 'enthusiastic' comments about Open Office; but they usually come under the heading of "fighting words", so I won't utter them here. :) vi is still the best way to put information into a file. Use some sort of XML or SGML markup if you want to make it fancy. :) Carl Soderstrom. -- Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
