I've been trying to use OpenOffice Writer for a project requiring a multipage table. Unfortunately, OOWriter cannot make (or display!) multipage tables, and apparently *will not* until version 2.0. This kind of stinks, but now I'm looking at alternatives. I've heard some people rave about the old WordPerfect 8 and its capabilities (wordprocessor preference is a subjective thing, I know). I know there are .debs for it out there to be had, since a version of it came packaged with some versions of (the Debian-based) Corel Linux. What I'm wondering about is the feasibility/advisability of attempting to install WP8 to my Debian Sid system. There are probably at least 2 aspects to this question: 1) potential dependency problems and their resolution; and 2) potential for harming my current setup by some files (say, older libraries) overwriting others. I am also not sure about WP8's ability to use truetype fonts. Can anyone please comment on these matters?
