I'm not one of those people who rant about open source software but this may
be useful to people who haven't got deep pockets, like me, for instance.
Anyone looking for a free alternative to MS office try www.openoffice.org .
Not as fancy but great for home / small business apps. It does not have
spell check for OE but there's a link there for a free program that will do
this too.
Enjoy.
