And, on final thought... There is an office suite (German company) that is actually free for users who do not earn money with the use of the software. RagTime Solo! http://www.ragtime-online.com/ From RagTime GmbH's page: Back in 1986 Kai Br=FCning and Thomas Everth released the first version of RagTime for the Apple Macintosh. The idea of RagTime was to integrate the two major computer applications word processing and spreadsheets into one program. RagTime was a big success in the European Macintosh market from beginning on. It found 250,000 users in education, small and big business. The common trait of RagTime users is a need for word processing and spreadsheet features combined with layouting capabilities. With RagTime Solo for Windows and Mac OS we make this software available fo= r a big audience. The idea is simple enough: As long as you do not earn money working with RagTime, we do not want your money either. <http://www.besoftware.com/> <http://www.comgrafix.com/> Windows (minimal): 486-compatible instruction set with Windows 95, 24 MB RAM, 30 MB free hard disk space.=20 Windows (recommended): Pentium processor with Windows 98 or NT 4 SP3 or better, 64 MB RAM, 75 MB free hard disk space.
