I did a better job in half the time using Ovation, and those were the days when Laser printers understood HP LJ2 so RISC OS had no compatibility issues with the printer either.įiction’s really the only thing I do for paper publication I really didn’t care that it could cope with a 1,000 page document when it gave such grief coping with a 1 page document! It was such a pain in the posterior quarters to get it to do things.
#MAC OS WORD PROCESSOR SOFTWARE#
The software was, to put it politely, poo. It was a 286 machine, and possibly predated Adobe’s involvement. I dunno about you, but an estate agent I used to be involved with circa 1992 used to use FrameMaker. We used FrameMaker, with its own file format I wonder if their WiFi is still stuck at WEP? (-:= I’m glad somebody paid attention to the GDPR. I have also noticed the management types have little green USB dongles in their laptops now. So, yeah, back to Word and Excel and – oh my God – Powerpoint. It worked out safer (since we’re a full-tracability company) to jettison Linux entirely, pay for Windows licences, and buy a package that not only works but was quickly customised on-site for several specifics of how things are done. When you’re pushing stock and resources adding up to nearly seven digits (at the time, more now!) you really do NOT want to find a huge chunk of it has “gone missing” in between the production site and head office and neither end seems to be aware of any discrepancy.
#MAC OS WORD PROCESSOR TRIAL#
They had a brief trial with Linux-everywhere (and LibreOffice) and while the pencil-pushers mostly got on okay with LibreOffice, the Linux “solutions” for stock control were absolutely abysmal.
#MAC OS WORD PROCESSOR MANUALS#
So many companies still do all their manuals in Word though… Interestingly, RTF is converted to EPUB, but there’s no mention in the file formats info that Lulu accepts EPUB directly. Lulu seems to prefer DOC(X), RTF, or ODT. Looks like Amazon prefers DOC(X) for the Kindle, but can handle RTF, HTML, EPUB, Mobi, etc. While submitting RTF files might be acceptable in some cases most publishers have moved on.
