There is also an entire office suite for KDE. Of course it doesn't have ll the feautures of Open or Libre Office but I'm sure it handles ODT. Ubuntu should automatically include the needed KDE libraries. I forget the name (maybe koffice). Let me know if youneed more info on it and I can look it up when I am on the desktop. - Ed Felt /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
