RTF (Rich Text Format)

[Stephen Burke]

Hello,

It seems strange that OpenOffice wouldn't clear up your problem. I have 
used for rtf docs before with varying degrees of success. However, I 
recently noticed  that abiword seemed to be pretty good at handling M$ 
crap, too, and it's not nearly such a pig to load as OpenOffice seems to 
be (although that part seems to change depending on the window manager) .

Definitely  try abiword before submitting (or allowing your wife to 
submit) to the dark lord.
You can get it here:

I would imagine that the RH9 rpms would work for SuSE, as I have 
installed various RH rpms here on 8.2, but there are sources there too, 
if that doesn't work and you want more practice compiling, etc.
S.
