I agree that I really liked Script (aka DCF). I actually prefer it to the ubiquitous WYSIWYG type "word processing". But then, I like "document processing", not "word processing". I guess because I prefer "content" over "form". There is definitely a difference. LyX is fairly good under Linux. I have also used Scribus on Linux. But, I admit that I use OpenOffice Writer more than either. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
