Re: [orca-list] Libreoffice 4 finally accessible

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

When I need to use Word processing in Linux, Writer is what I would go
to.  Just haven't had to do that for a while now.  Most actual Word
processing activity lately has been at work where we're stuck with
puke-generating windows XP with Office 2007.

I also have Text Edit available on my Mac too.
