8 Star Office

Star Office is a free office system similar to Microsoft Office. To use Star Office, you must first install it. You install it by choosing Star Office in the menu “ Anvendelser” found by pressing the K button. This will start the installation. You are prompted to make a local or a network installation – you choose a local installation.

When Star Office is installed you start Star Office by choosing the same menu item, that is, Star Office in the menu “ Anvendelser”.

Typing soffice & in an Xterm does also start Star Office.

You can also use LATEX to type set documents. This document is type set using LATEX. You use Emacs to edit your LATEX document, and then the program latex to compile it into a “de vice independent file” (.dvi). As with Java and SML files, Emacs also has a mode for typing LATEX documents.

More information on using LATEX can be found in the note “The Not So Short Introduction to LATEX2e” found on URL: http://www.itu.dk/intranet/sysadm/cdroms/sir

To try out LATEX type in the following in an Emacs buffer named text.tex:
