Re: [newbie] word processing and finance apps

[Murray Strome]

WordPerfect 8.0 is a reasonably good wordprocessor (and free for LINUX: http://linux.corel.com/linux8/download.htm) -- the only problem I have found so far is that "Search and Replace does not seem to work (no matter what you search for, it says string not found -- anyone any ideas how to fix that one?)

There are some spread-sheets and you might check out: http://www.gnucash.org/ for a money manager.

    As far as a word processor goes, how about WordPerfect?  Version 7
is available for Linux, free for non-commercial use.
http://linux.corel.com.  Don't know about checkbook software,
though--Quicken for Linux would be really nice.
