Re: [PLUG] open office, was notebooks for high school
|
By "star office", was the processor being addressed really "word star"? Star Office (Sun) is not that archaic, so I think you mean word star. At least one version of Word Star used to use "dot" commands. The document was edited in a standard text editor, and text colors were used to show different formats. One had to do a graphical preview to see what it really looked like.
