Earlier versions of these are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ostorybook/files/?source=navbar and http://www.plume-creator.eu/site/index.php/en/download-en They both (in their current forms) use a dedicated simple editor, and permit the story to be exported to OO or LibO for final formatting. The rewrite of oStoryBook will use LibO or OO as the main writing editor; I believe Plume Creator will use something similar. If wishing to try oStoryBook I would suggest using v 4.9.12 or 11 rather than the later (4.9.13) version, as it has a number of limitations which are not being fixed as the re-write will deal with them. The next version is expected in September, but software often slips on delivery dates. I have no Information of Plume Creator other than is on the above site. Another writing organiser (not as sophisticated as either of the above) and uncertain in quality is Organon in the Extensions Repository at http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/organon -- Rory O'Farrell <[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
