But, of course, M$ Office is still better for numbers of feature. :-) Doesn't it has grammar check? Right now, I am typing in AbiWord2 and noticed only has spell check feature, but not grammar. M$ Office improves my grammar a lot. ;-) Cheers, Mezz _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
