The only problem is that they are changing their international website these days and it is not avaible (you can only acess pages saying they'll come back in 11th August). Maybe it would be better wait a little since I understood from their site that StarOffice 5.0 will bet release together with the new site. If you need it right now take a look at http://www.stardivision.de It is in German, though, but there you can find a link to download (they ask some information like name and e-mail, but it's free).

If you want to use it otherwise, you will have to purchase it from either StarDivision or Caldera. I've tried both. IMHO, the display is a bit better with version 3.0 (however I prefer WordPerfect, which is $$).

Try Star Office. I *might* do what you're looking for without going commercial. And I've always thought that Star Office *is* commercial... If I can legally d/l it, install it, and use it, and pay nothing, it's not commercial. :) [Well, not commercial for me.] ;) StarOffice costs $$'s if you are going to use it for business. It's also not open source, etc. But it is free for noncommercial use. Jason -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: WYSIWYG Word Processor
I would suggest you try LyX again. I didn't like it when I first tried it and quit using it. After using LaTeX for for a time, I tried LyX again. So far, there hasn't been any document I couldn't write with it. Reports with tables, letters, resumes. It's really a superb application. LyX (LaTeX) knows much more about making beautiful documents than I did.
