The OpenOffice.org project is explicitly intended as an office suite -- word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, database. If all you want or need is a simple word processor, there are many available, and quite a few are free. But what's to stop you from simply using the Writer program by itself? -- -John ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
