KWord 2.0 - wishfull thinking... (tables)
by Anonymous Coward on Wednesday 06/Sep/2006, @14:25
This might be very off-topic, but I hope that Koffice (K-Office?) 2.0 will have full-fledged table support, like in MS-Word. I use them for formatting, and use them extensively in my CV, along with styles (bad habit I picked up way back when on some *nix-based typsetting system whose name I forget... damn, I getting old!). Anywho, I haven't seen any Free alternative that could slurp my CV and keep its layout: the document would almost litterally kill the program I was using.

Maybe it is because MS uses some incredibly convoluted & obfuscated way to store its documents, I don't know, but if one of the Kdeveloppers (sorry) could get KWord 2.0 to make sense out of MS Word's tables & Styles, I could get even closer to getting rid of my last Windows box.

I think KWord is a mix of desktop publishing and word processor. It is based on frames. To this should not be a problem for you. :-)
