Re: Advice on Word processing / Browsing / Spreadsheets

Recent versions of gnumeric are pretty good for a spreadsheet. Still
cant do _everything_ excel can, but will quite likely do enough, and it
is quite stable.

I'm a bit stuck for a good enough word processor though :( I would love
to hear of others success storys.

I have tryed mswordview under wine as a light wight properly compatable
doc viewer, but it didnt work :(
