Hi Shriramana,
If Kate can handle only pure text, is there anything below KOffice Writer (or whatever it's called) and OOo Writer that handles rich text, like Windows' Wordpad which is "greater than" Kate but "lesser than" M$ Word?
... I don't know KOffice. I know OpenOffice (including its Mac port NeoOffice) and of course M$ Office. I never use rich text. I hate that thing. You can't possibly do decent layout with it and you also don't have the advantages of plain text. It's some unfinished mixture in between, something like we-defined-a-file-format-but-never-really- finished-it. I use either plain text of some office's "native" format, ie. .doc, .xls,... For pure text editing, I use vi. Ok, the latter may not exactly be everyone's taste. ;-) -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmail.com
