AbiWord comes with Red Hat 7.1. Star Office (Web site domain)
AbiWord comes with Red Hat 7.1. Star Office is an Open Source product, so you can download a free copy from the Internet. WordPerfect offers a 90-day trial period for its software. A demo of the Anyware Office suite is now available from Vistasource.com and can be launched from your Web browser. Purchase prices are all very reasonable only a small fraction of what you would pay for the Microsoft Office suite (and Microsoft Office doesn’t have a Linux version). If you are committed to using Red Hat Linux as your computing platform but still want to use some of your older Windows applications, there are some workarounds: Set up separate Red Hat Linux and Windows 9x /2000 partitions on your computer (the most inefficient way), and reboot to a different partition (if you need to run Microsoft Word or some other application occasionally). Use Windows 9x/2000 or DOS emulators to run your older applications from those operating systems. Cross-Reference For information about obtaining Windows 3.1 or 95 emulators, such as WABI and WINE, refer to Chapter 5. VMWare (http://www.vmware.com/), which is also referenced in Chapter 5, is a commercial product that lets you run Windows and Linux software on the same desktop. Using Anyware Office The Anyware Office Suite for Linux from VistaSource (http://www.vistasource.com/) contains a full set of publishing and office-productivity applications that run under Linux. Publishing applications that come with the suite include: Anyware Words This WYSIWYG word processor contains a full set of document-publishing features for editing text and formatting pages. You can also import files from many other word processors, including Word (including Microsoft Office 97). Anyware Graphics You can create and edit graphical images in Anyware Graphics format (.ag) or import files in a variety of other graphics formats. Anyware Spreadsheets You can create customized, graphical spreadsheets with this application. Using the spreadsheet data, you can create charts, graphs, and projection tables. These publishing applications integrate with each other so that, for example, you can import spreadsheets into a Words document or a graphic into a Spreadsheets file. The publishing applications also integrate with other office productivity applications that come with Anyware. Office productivity applications in the suite include: Anyware Presents Software to create presentations. You can create presentations that can be viewed as an onscreen slideshow, printed on paper or transparencies (color or monochrome), or output as 35mm slides. Anyware Mail Send, receive, and manage e-mail messages with this application. Common e-mail features, such as maintaining recipient lists and adding attachments, are supported.
