EasyOffice in other languages but German and English if I can
find enough advertisement partners that are interested in such a

Usage
~~~~~

As this is a preview release there are no documentations or
help files included yet. But I give you some hints to understand
the usage of the program.

      - Click on the things you want to change with the left
        mouse button. For example if you want a word to appear
        bold just click on it and a related popup-menu will
        appear where you can change attributes that affect only
        the word.
      - It is also possible to change whole paragraphs by
        clicking on the paragraph marker at the end of each
        paragraph
      - Also you may change attributes of marked text areas by
        pressing the mouse button and moving the mouse meanwhile
      - Use your right mouse button to position the cursor in the
        text
      - There are some objects that you won't expect to have
        features if you click on them. For example you can change
        to view size if you click on the percentage information
        in the status bar. Or you may create links between
        databases and word files by clicking on the column name
        in the database.
      - The templates folder has a special function. Documents
        that are copied into it are used as templates next time
        you try to load them.
      - you may move graphics by pressing the ALT-key... will be
        changed I hope...
