       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. . . .
