Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How can I build only libreoffice-writer instead of whole officesuite ?

Hi :)
Yes, i liked the suggestion for just installing AbiWord.  

Gnome Office only has a few components but they are good and the AbiWord 
component seems to be exactly what Partha Chowdhury (= the OP) needs.  I think 
it's good when communities work together like this.  I'm not sure that AbiWord 
allows you to easily set the default formats to MS Office ones (ie .doc or 
.docX) which is one reason i prefer Writer but the native OpenDocument Formats 
are more secure and are the same for Gnome Office, LibreOffice/OpenOffice, 
Google-docs and many more too :)
Regards from
Tom :)

And what do you get when you install Writer only? May be 320 instead of 350 
Megabyte?

In this case you should install Writer and Abiword. No software can interprete 
word documents perfectly, not even WinWord. Sometimes Abiword makes a better 
guess than LibreOffice.

Refer to http://zamzar.com/ which converts almost any trash into something 
usable.
