For what it's worth, I read my resume, which I originally created in Star Office format, exported to Word 97 .doc format, into abiword as well as the newest koffice / kword I built from cvs last night. Abiword reads it IMHO better than does kword, even though it doesn't have tables (it centers the table information on mutilple lines.) Abiword is a bit old as well; it was built from a ximian Gnome install I did a few months back and I haven't updated yet. Kword lost the tables entirely (they are pretty simple, just a two-element table with company centered in one half of the table and the dates centered in the other half. Kword shows part of the table at the top of the document, then 0's followed by white space where the tables should go in the document. Not only that, but the bullet list on the second page was obliterated into one line of gibberish. Jennifer Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- David E.

Do you run X? In that case just open the file with Staroffice (download free from http://www.sun.com ) C. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Namens michael Verzonden: donderdag 29 maart 2001 19:42 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: [newbie] Word doc reader in linux?

You will find that abiword, which comes with 7.1 and 7.2 is pretty good too.

or try wine which will let you open word in linux ( not sure if it works with word2000 completely but I heard you can do it this way) On Thu, 29 Mar 2001, Claudio wrote: Do you run X?

Re: [newbie] Word doc reader in linux?
I am not sure what your goal is, but StarOffice is able to read just about all M$ Word documents. KOffice is also able to read M$ Word documents.
