Fintan,
Thanks for the link.

I must admit, I've had no luck using Wine, and I'm confused about what runs and what doesn't run in Wine. Even though I've essentially stopped using any Windows applications, there are one or two I'd like to have in Kubuntu (for example, TurboTax and Dragon NaturallySpeaking).

I'd be interested in watching how this new application does.

Thanks again,
Matt

Well I never could get Offi ce installed...

There are many other Office suites that are free and do just as good a job.
For example, OpenOffice.org OR KOffice.
(Just google'em or check the repositories, if you're interested)

...and yes they can both read/write that other office suites' documents.

Re: For all you wine lovers!!

Same here (I fixed them by installing OOo from source); the version of OpenOffice currently in the repos seems to work well for me now, though.
