Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has used openoffice and had problems with it's spellcheck. It's gotten a bit better, but still doesn't recognize contractions. I've been trying to find info on their site, but man is that project a beast! You can't find anything and their "issuezilla" is a pain in the rear for quick searches. This is one area where Kword really seems to "work" better, even if I have to add a bunch of words to the dictionary...Any reflections/work-arounds? I'm always trying to get people to not shell-out the $$$ for MS Office, and OpenOffice/StarOffice is a really great alternative at this point. I can't wait for Koffice to get there as well (I just wish I could contribute). Wes
I highly recommend checking out irc.opennetworks.com, mostly the #linuxhelp and #linpeople channels. They have been able to solve all of my problems. On Mon, 2002-03-18 at 13:09, Wesley Allen wrote:

Y'know, I rarely inhabit irc, but every time I do I get stuff answered. Thanks for the reminder... Wes On Mon, 2002-03-18 at 15:08, Chuck Haines wrote:
