have you tried Maxwell http://www.eeyore-mule.demon.co.uk/. It's WYSIWYG. The binary download is 1.3M. I used it on my Linux Box, so I don't see why it would not run under Linux emulation on FreeBSD. It has RTF output and I believe word( although I'm not sure). Before I switched to FreeBSD and WordPerfect, I used it to do my work at home the saved to RTF and at work opened it in Word and printed it out. Try that. > -----Original Message----- > From: J McKitrick [SMTP:jcm@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org] > Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 1999 11:58 AM > To: Greg Lehey > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: WYSIWYG word processor needed > > I just feel that word processing is not my forte, so to be user-friendly, > a wp should make it as easy as possible for me to concentrate on writing > and the end result, not worrying about how to process a document with > complex commands and codes.
