Re: [PLUG] Open Source Equivalent of WordPerfect

[Fred Stluka <fred@bristle.com>]

Casey,

I'm a fan of LibreOffice over Word, but it's probably not going to
make you any happier than Word.  It purposely emulates Word,
with the same shortcut keys, capabilities, etc., because one of its
goals is to provide a migration path for long-time Word users.

See my next email for better ideas...
