    I've tried it before and I'm not planning to give it a try again for now...

    It's GUI is nice...

    But it's freaking slow to start-up and it's a f-king resource hog like no other word processor I've used before...all I can say is this app isn't worth using if you have low RAM or if you are looking for a 'faster' alternative to MS Office...don't believe me, just try it for yourself and damn figure it out on your own.
    They call me the mysterious one...
    my motto is...when it's hot, chill baby

    I've tried it as well... I dislike it's GUI personally, and I can second it being slow. I stick to OOo for a reason.

    I'm aware Leofelix.. but the old 2.X branch, not the 3.X which it's presently on. So it doesn't even support DOCX
