Hi Keith
The two things that are show-stoppers for me in regards to editing is
that VO still isn't accurate in reporting which text is selected (a
consequence of this separate edit field business) and that text
attributes and alignment are still not exposed. Unfortunately these
don't seem to be fixed and I must say I have to wonder whether the
developers of Openoffice are listening. Knowing the alignment of text
is rather important if you have to do precise formatting, after all
and, even after reporting these issues several times, it just feels
like I'm talking to a brick wall.

Hi folks,
If you have tried OpenOffice in the past and found it wanting, you
may want to try it again,, OpenOffice release candadate.
This is a full featured office program and it looks like its nearly
ready for prime-time.
I am not a spread-sheet person, but, I am told that it works fine.
If you must read to end in a document, this is not the program for
you, but, if you are doing fine edit work on a paper,, or, book,
which requires, headers, footers and so on and will save in Word and
a number of other formats, this just may be what you are looking for.
I find I am using OpenOffice more as time goes by.
IMHO.
