Well, it is just a different tool, and learning the details will simply

William,

  That's true. And different does not mean better or worse. I use several
text editors: joe (shell scripts, .conf files, default editor in pine and
slrn, quick little editing tasks), emacs (coding, including .c, .py, .html,
and .css), scribus (marketing brochures and flyers), and lyx (serious
writing of articles, reports, letters, proposals, slide presentations). I do
keep OO.o here for translating .doc files sent to me and -- on _very_ rare
occasions -- when I must send a document to a client or agency for them to
edit.

  Each tool has its purpose, and I appreciate the specialization because it
makes each outstanding within its designed limits.

Happy translating,

Rich
