He has a point re Linux, (which I have tried and gone off). Whatever option used would need to be cross platform. One cross platform word processor I have in mind is Abiword, which is, of course, compatible with several formats, including MS Word. Why reinvent the wheel going to a lot of effort, as Dave suggests, when that could be just the program to work with? Perhaps those on this list who might be interested could link in with the Abiword development and thus even help it to be better able to work in with Sword should there be a need? On the other hand, I hate it when programmers of some software restrict me to having to use their favourite programs for word processing or email links. On balance I would much prefer programs like Sword to be flexible so that I can integrate with a word processor of my choice. I get the impression that this might be more difficult to do, but I think it would be worth it. Incidentally I follow this list with my interest as a Sword user rather than one who is able to program. I get a bit put off when this list seems often to specialise in Sword for Linux, although I can understand from the open source point of view. Although the original message did speak from the Windows side of things, and the reply reminded of the Linux aspect, I think it is worth everyone bearing in mind the cross platform nature of Sword, and this situation seems to be a case in point.
