lyx rather than openoffice
Hi,
I have noticed lately people are going to great lengths to get
openoffice going on amd. I have found that for academic (and personal)
writing latex (therefore lyx) produces superior documents; since
character spacing may be modified and it has 'nicer'type-faces. Along
with a bibliography tool. It posseses the ability to save as a pdf
document (which everyone can read). It produces a functiomal contents
tool.
For graphs one can use gr ace (xmgrace) which is a fine tool for
spreadsheets and 2d graphs and simple maths. Gnuplot for 3d work.
There are various presentation softwares (eg kpresent) for overheads.
In all a good toolkit. Granted openoffice will open msoffice stuff but
as I recall there are converters available.
Try these tools outt rather than tear your hair out with the office
suite. Individuals will have their personal reasons for using ooffice
and in these cases I apologise for wasting anyones time. I thought it
was worth a mention.
Regards
Gavin.
