[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 365581, member: 13565"] I swear by OpenOffice.org on my PC but on my iMac .... forget it. Once, X11 became corrupt and needed a lot of intensive Terminal work which was way above my head. No amount of reinstalling X11 from the install DVD or redownloading/installing OO.o could fix my problem ... it was a totally unique situation that I couldn't find reference to anywhere on the internet. But when I received help and entered all the right code into the Terminal, X11 suddenly stopped crashing ... but it was too late as I had already decided to ditch OO.o for NeoOffice which has been fine so far. I believe AbiWord is an even leaner word processor and also an OpenSource app. [URL="http://www.opensourcemac.org/"][I][COLOR="Red"]OpenSource Apps For Macs[/COLOR][/I][/URL] [/QUOTE]
