Slackware. Pat dislikes Gnome and does not include it with KDE and Xfce (plus blackbox. fluxbox, and a few others) in each release. > That means it also can't come with any part of OOo, since OOo requires > parts of Gnome, even on a KDE machine. Feh! I have always used Xfce since both Gnome and KDE are to Microsoftish in appearance for me. And I've been using OO.o since WordPerfect for Linux died with the change from libc5 to libc6. The current version of OO.o is openoffice.org-3.0.0_en_US-i586-3_SBo and it works as well as previous versions have done. The only KDE installed is kdelibs and kdebase. I've not needed any Gnome specifically to run OO.o. > The problem I am having is characters dropping out in printouts and > usually (but not always) dropping out on the screen as well.

I've run AbiWord, but it's not as useful for translating from/to Word so I use just OO.o for that. Scribus runs just fine here and I use it for page layout on fliers and brochures. Rich -- Richard B.
