Star Office does just about everything. Unfortunately versions 5.1 and 5.2 were bloatware, taking hours to load and monopolising the CPU. The beta of 6.0 looks very good, though - they ditched the browser and email client and the integrated desktop, and went for KDE integration instead. Of course, being beta it crashes occasionally, but no more than MS Office does normaly, in my experience. Robin
