Patrick, thanks for the offer. And yes, I am trying to use my computer as a tool. I want to find a solution to come up with an acceptable format for my cv from within Linux. This should be consistent with your view of computers, yes? ;)
I know this will take considerably more effort, but when I am done, I'll
most likely know everything about rtf and any other text format. :)
If I can't come up with an acceptable solution I will take you up on
your offer.
Andreas
