[QUOTE="raymarco, post: 1728440, member: 382116"] I tried LibreOffice, but it wouldn't work. It kept telling me to install Java, which I have confirmed I already have the latest version. I then tried OpenOffice, but that wouldn't work either ..... same problem. I've since downloaded, and tried, a number of alternatives. None of them really do what I'm looking for. I then discovered NeoOffice. I was aware that it was, basically, the same as LibreOffice and OpenOffice. For some reason, though, it does work. It seems to offer what I want, but there's no support to speak of. Their website just points you to OpenOffice. There are tutorials online, but they all say to use the wizard.
