There are several: Applixware (from www.Redhat.com, $$) StarOffice 4.0 (from www.stardivision.com, free for personal use) WordPerfect 7 (from www.sdcorp.com, $$) Corel is also coming out with WordPerfect 8 for linux, in about a month. $$ Xemacs is included with SuSE and is a decent word processor. In my opinion, StarOffice is the best. But, it does crash occasionally and takes _lots_ of memory. I have used WP7 for linux, and it is excellent! I think they want about $90 for a personal copy. I would wait for the WP8 release. (maybe use xemacs until then) Applixware I haven't used enough to have an opinion. And, Netscape can be used as a wordprocessor, too. It has centering, bold, coloring, etc. Only saves in html, though. There are probably many I missed.

I use StarOffice 4.0 and like it. It's very similar to MS Office andimports most word formats, except for 97. It is pretty memory intensive, so I'd have at least 64MB of ram. (I have 96MB here) There is also Applixware (by RedHat) and Word Perfect. Both of these you have to buy. StarOffice is free for personal use.

No, I've only found the complete package (50 MB) :-( Btw. you can get a list of ftp-sites at www.stardivision.de (not .com). Ciao, Stefan -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I have been enjoying _Applixware_, originally through Red Hat but now also from S.u.S.E. The word processor is very much like Word but much more stable. Plus you get a spreadsheet, presentation program, email, etc. Since you're using 5.1 I believe there is a demo on your CD's. Give it a try. Phil Bennett "Give a man a fish and feed him for today.

Depending on what you plan do do, you might even do away with lyx and use your trusty editor with (plain) LaTeX. However, that is in no way WYSIWY(W)G ((won't) get), and you'd have to learn a bit of LaTeX, too.
