OpenOffice (StarOffice 6.0) does this..however StarOffice 5.2 does not.
I've been running SO 5.1 and SO 5.2 from within KDE, so I get a desktop within a desktop. I don't know how to set up SO as your primary desktop. That's an interesting idea - one approach to a 'simplified Linux' for the office worker who doesn't need anything else... I've also heard that SO 6.0 will have 'stand-alone' WP application, for faster loading and smaller footprint... Rick Green
