Hi,
I found this great little word processor that will read and write .rtf (rich text) files so there is inter-usability between almost ANY word processor including MS word --if the file is saved as .rtf rather than .doc. It will also save native unix text as well as html files. There is also a spell checker and best of all it is VERY small. the RPM package I installed on my machine is only 2.73 megabytes! I tried to convert this to a '770 compatible file but had trouble getting the debian arm file to complie. The scripts I was trying to use were giving me an permission error for some reason. There are debian arl packages available as well as source code if someone would like to (please :-) build a mammo compatible package.
Below is a wikipedia link and a discription I borrowed from the web site.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_(word_processor)

"Ted is a word processor for the X Window System environment, which runs on Linux and other Unix-like systems. Developed primarily by Mark de Does, Ted is a lightweight, yet full-featured word processor.

It saves files in a Microsoft Word-compatible rich text format and has support for headers, footers, tables, different fonts, text alignment, and other features common to word processors. Ted has been localized into various languages.

While the program includes a spell checker, it does not automatically put a red underline under misspelled words while typing. It is a very light-weight and fast word processor, making it ideal for older computers and embedded systems.

Ted is currently using the Motif toolkit for widget rendering and compiles and runs fine when compiled with LessTif. A GTK+ version is currently under development."
