I couldn't stand OpenOffice. I found it really slow and hated the repetition of the .org part of the title. Very minor but drove me up the wall insane.

I've downloaded teh NW beta for SL adn I was really happy to see that it works pretty well with SL. Attributes and font announcements workfine. And I was really happy to see that page numbers are also workinggreat too. It will say "page 4", Page 5" as the cursor goes from page to page. If you go through the document quickly in page view, you hear page 1, page 2, etc as you hit the arrow keys. Then I think you can go to draft on the particular page you want and interact with it. Theinteract part is a little tricky because I just haven't figured it outcompletely. but I will play with it more later. Just a preliminary reprot and I am very pleased. For any of you looking for a medical speller, I've found one that works, Inductel. They just updated it in May of this year, so itshould be pretty up to date. I also like Typinator which I think willdo fine for storing and quickly typing addresses, although I have not tried it with SL yet.
