As the original poster wants to write books .... may I suggest that he use a text editor and then a typesetter combination rather than any form of WYSIWYG wordprocessor. IE use (insert favourite text editor here) then use the LaTeX / Tetex port to actually properly format the material as a book. Yes there is a learning curve here, but the end result is all over a wordprocessed attempt. mjt --------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted in this e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended addressee and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
