Try it on decent hardware.

Why do you need to use doc when you send out your projects? Does someone else need to edit them? If not, generate PDF, and send that. I don't know of any other solution other than running MS Win and Word in a virtual machine.

ahh, i will check that out linux software next time on the machine.

yep, i get drafts in doc format, i proof them, and send back in doc format to be published by my customer. otherwise yes, i would use pdf instead.

Kenchan: Okay. I See. If your customer uses doc, then I guess that you're stuck.

Nevertheless, I'm curious about the type of documents that these are. Sometimes, customers think that they need Word when they don't ... but path of least resistance, and all. I understand.

hi bbigby- yah, i think im the one gating the format choices cause im using freeware for this freelance work, but they dont care about that. they pay me for content.

kinda like in the music industry where one can hum a tune into a smart phone, send the mp3 via email to the producers, and the producers make an entire ensemble out of it. the equipment doesn't matter for the initial humming.

i could use my notebook with Word to do these projects, but i prefer my MBP's nice screen..atleast for these projects i dont want to deal with pc's/windows.

and so far ive spent nothing since i already had the MBP and Libre is free.

can't beat that.

I don't blame you, man. You have a good setup ... one that you can trust. I feel the same way about my Linux, and Android systems. I only use Windows at work for office tasks, but for software development, we use Fedora Linux. At home, my entire family uses Linux. Don't need Windows. Don't miss it. Don't want it. A long time ago, I told Gates and Windows to
