It is a good and decent word processor; the only thing that bugs me is that it requires massive amounts of libraries that I don't otherwise need. > Problem with RTF is that it's Microsoft's language and they will do with it > whatever they please and you'd better learn to like it.[...] Yes. AbiWord exports to two different versions of RTF and there is still a lot that's liable to get lost. But the alternative would be to use OpenOffice's Word export - and I've had nothing but trouble with that. My boss likes his MS Office and his 'rich' formatting - otherwise, I'd gladly hand in all my papers in plain text. *shrugs* All things considered, AbiWord is the lesser of the available evils. I just wish it didn't come with all the stuff I really don't need or want. Thanks, -Juergen
