Re: [SLE] Japanese word processor?

I am looking for a word processor that has ports for SuSE 8.2, and also Mac OS X that supports input of Japanese characters

OpenOffice.org, free from http://www.openoffice.org/

and doesn't have a steep learning curve

Not everything is obvious; Haugland & Jones' book *OpenOffice.org 1.0 resource kit* is probably worth the money. Chances are high that your friend will have to deal with MS Word files; OOo can handle these easily. However, before you get too excited, please read the small print about the Mac OS X version at http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html
