Thanks for informing the list;
I'm interested in hearing further on Symphony?, as to where
to find it, what all it contains, ...
Lotus Symphony is a product of IBM. It's free, open source (I think)
and, as I said, a close cousin to OO and LO.
I haven't gone back to the site to see if it's available in forms other
than MS Windows and RPM, but the RPM
format is what I used to install it in PCLinuxOS. It's been a while
since I got it, and I remember that it's just
a tiny bit tricky to find and download what you need, but a few minutes
patience will get it for you.

Symphony contains the usual office paraphernalia--Document,
Presentation, and Spreadsheet. It's
user-friendly, unlike its cousins, with graphic icons for all the usual
editing functions--line spacing, fonts,
type size, justification, etc. As I mentioned, it's /finished/. Not a
work in progress. But be warned:
There are a couple of glitches you will find, and if they are too
onerous, you will give up on it. I don't
know if the glitches will be fixed, but I live with them. Mainly, the
vertical bar disappears. YMMV. . . .
