Going Back to AbiWord was Automatic
My experiment with LibreOffice has come to an end.
It is given lot of headache.
It all started with me erasing all my book file in one night.
I have reinstalled Emmabanuts, Ubuntu and two versions of Debian (old and new editions of version 15) in two SATA disks
In that process I erased the Home Partition ( I generally do not erase my home partition to save files).
I needed a clean sheet for year 2023.
All the books I had old copes saved in a 2 GB USB stick except the last copy of the book on Linux Fundamentals,
I have had this accident 5 years ago when I erased the entire hard disk of our PC.
Now I work with a NUC which is new to me and has not yet mastered the Visual BIOS to mount external USB sticks in succession.
It was all fore good. I need to learn lot of new things happening in Linux especially the Systemd and the old SystemV init processes and also how the Kernel is developing in very rapid speed.
With the Christmas only four weeks away everything in the developer world is going to come to a halt or if not to slow grinding pace.
I have only to download SparkyLinuxGameOver and I did not want to waste my data and decided to gather all the pieces in my blog site for editing into a book format.
Few trials with LibreOffice, especially formatting and spell checking got me to a grinding slow pace.
So I went back to to AbiWord and in three hours non stop I got all the files in one place.I did have problem with spell checking but after a time in the web it automatically connected me to the Web Spell checker of AbiWord.
AbiWord is only 28 MB and it does not have bulky built in dictionary. It has a spell checker as a cloud utility, I believe.
I was more involved in getting the precise page formatting not so much the spelling. Besides I have all my dictionaries by the side of me. So going back to AbiWord was, say the least saved me lot of hours,
Thank You AbiWord.
