[19:09] write a book [19:09] booklet [19:10] or something [19:10] booklet? [19:10] for what? [19:11] wanna write a best seller like wilbur smith [19:11] haha [19:11] rofl [19:12] Coffee's ready for inetpro and Kilos! [19:12] Maaz, danke [19:12] Bitteschön [19:15] Kilos: you can print booklets in LibreOffice [19:15] write it not print it man [19:17] hmm... [19:18] why would you want to write in booklet form then? [19:18] book form [19:18] like the pdf things one downloads kinda [19:19] so what is wrong with LibreOffice? [19:20] i dunno havent tried [19:20] googled and found i gotta use scribus or texlive or something [19:20] latex [19:20] but one was a large download so i got scribus [19:21] * inetpro just wondering why he wants to spend time and effort installing and learning something else when the distro has LibreOffice pre-installed [19:22] no links said use libre office [19:22] ai! [19:22] i think i asked here [19:22] have you never seen or used LibreOffice? [19:22] forget now [19:23] no man you know ive never needed office for anything [19:23] yikes [19:23] don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's the best for your specific job [19:23] but it can get the job done [19:24] until you realise that you need something better [19:24] for specific reasons [19:24] ya but there how many office things and which one to use? [19:25] LibreOffice is very good these days and comes pre-installed on most Linux distros [19:25] there are 4 or 5 libreoffice things which one can be used to write a book [19:26] uh? [19:26] i know its here i had to remove them from launcher to make place for stuff that works [19:27] like pidgin xchat forcequit and modem-manager-gui [19:27] Writer is probably what you are looking for [19:27] Impress is for presentations [19:27] i dunno what presentations are [19:28] slideshows [19:28] oh [19:28] Draw is for all kinds of graphical drawing [19:29] ya that makes sense [19:29] Calc is for the bean counters [19:29] ill look at write [19:29] bean counters? [19:30] scribus is a serious tool for peeps that understand all that stuff [19:31] Bean counter = A disparaging term for an accountant, or anyone excessively concerned with statistical records or accounts. [19:31] hahaha [19:31] like prokerower for lawyer [19:35] a quick overview of Writer's features: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice_Writer#Features [19:36] ty [19:36] note: that page is a bit outdated [19:36] ive google tons of data out these last 2 weeks [19:37] the scribus ones are also out of date [19:37] the real info is here: http://www.libreoffice.org/features/writer/ [19:37] talk about functions that havebeen dropped [19:38] dropped? [19:38] it just keeps getting better man [19:38] ya like scribusX11 that was in there for colour stuff methinks [19:40] like this http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Help:Manual_Quickstart [19:42] my poor opera is cripple from all the links already [19:45] aw writer looks good [19:46] writer is good for 90% of what everyone needs for word processing [19:46] it is when you get serious that it may not be good enough for the job [19:46] looks like yeah and most likely much easier to master than scribus [19:46] that is when you need to start learning the latex stuffs [19:46] serious makes headaches [19:47] like scribus [19:47] no scribus sits somewhere in between [19:47] serious writers use TeX [19:48] i still couldnt work out how to underline even though there is an underline icon there that dont underline anything [19:48] grrr [19:48] ill look at writer methinks [19:48] ty for the tip [19:51] it's a pleasure [19:54] ok then peeps. sleep tight. [19:54] see ya morrow [19:55] good night oom Kilos [19:55] night goosie
