OpenOffice

[Doogee]

Hey all

I only would use the word processor from open office, now im on a small hard drive i was wondering if its at all possible to just have the writer program of OOo, the rest can go, i dont use it.

if not what are some decent word processing programs (as full featured as OOo Writer) that dont require QT (ie not that Koffice one) i didnt have enough room for QT/KDE.


And ideas or suggestions?

well the very newest version of abiword looks to be as good as the newest version of kword, i am not sure what filesize it comes in at but i think it sounds like just what you are after, to be honest

10 out of 10 for completely irrelevant answer there, and how does that help him fit a word processor into a limited space?

[Doogee]

Ahh leave him alone.


Hrmm AbiWord may not infact suit me, i am compiling now, but i see it doesnt have tables (not properly anyway) tables and other advanced stuff is what im looking for, to have just the writer from OOo would be bliss, i dunno if its possible though.

Edit : Error Compiling fsck abiword it was only a small number bump, (i have 1.04 i was compiling 1.05)

you should just be able to install writer.

[Doogee]

so that is an option on install?

[flap]

as far as I can remember.

[Calum]

doh! yes it is, you are completely correct, however you need the space to unarchive it all and compile it on your disk in the first place too.

[flap]

Well not if you get the binaries you don't.
