Hi

I have erased my Windows partition, and now only use Linux - but I miss
the windows DOC file editor I used to use. Has someone made a DOC file
editor for Linux? Maybe a plugin to gedit or OpenOffice? I am not
interested in a conversion tool.

Thanks...

I'd be surprised if there isn't (try pilot-tools and packages it
suggests), but if not, there's always running what you know works in
wine until you find or write your own native replacement.

You can create, open, edit, and save PalmDoc files using OpenOffice.
(At least it does in my installation - OpenOffice.org 2.3.0 on
PCLinux2007.)

Not exactly sure what you mean but there's a completely free (open source,
LGPL) office suite named OpenOffice.org that runs on Linux, Windows and Mac
and that does pretty much everything that MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint and
Access do. It handles .doc, .xls, .ppt, .rtf etc. etc. files except that MS
Office 2007 (OpenXML) documents won't be handled until version 2.4 planned
for release this March. Get it at www.openoffice.org

The reason I'm not sure about what you mean is that this is a Palm forum and
you are talking Linux. As far as I know OpenOffice won't run on a Palm.

Can't find anything with that name. Do you mean prc-tools?

I thought of wine 10 seconds after I send the question.... It works well.
