Hi all, Its what I am used to doing, and my thinking seems to go that way, but you are right, at the end of the day. I looged back into Debian this morning, after the email I sent following this thread title/subject, and you are right, and i think the person called Joe gave the hint, and i checked to see if swriter was installed it was not so I installed it, and the was able to open a swriter doc in the word-processor. So basically, it looks like the problem is solved - apart from the slow startup. I generally use slackware, and have not encountered these problems. All thanks for the help, its much appreciated. cheers On Wed, Dec 18, 2024 at 12:00:31PM +0000, Brad Rogers wrote:
