I'd considered that, but I think having to install Latex to create documents when all my boss wants is page breaks, centered text and different font sizes runs counter to my intention to keep it as small as possible. > I suppose the question is, in what way do you create non-rtf documents > and can that method also work with rtf? There's a thought. I create my 'regular' text files in vim, and it looks like RTF is a text based markup language. Maybe I could just learn to write it directly. > Searching aptitude, re Ted it says that "going the other way" i.e. > opening existing documents is more difficult. I'm not surprised. But I can't even start a new document in Ted. Still no idea what I am doing wrong. Thanks, -Juergen
