[solved] KOffice Project Kword

[Lisa]

Hi,

I tried this word processor  in Fedora 9, (the ONLY thing I liked about Fedora 9 KDE4, by the way-very buggy!)  I didn't know KDE had their own word processor.  Kword came up quickly and worked well.  I see there is OpenOffice in PiSi, but Kword would be a nice option for the KDE desktop.

You have kword as a pisi in the repos too, its called koffice-kword.

   I did a search in PiSi for both koffice and kword for installed and new...let me look again.

Thanks!

P.S.  Hi Trixon, and thank you!  I was using the search bar incorrectly.  I would click on Show New Packages or Show Installed Packages and entered my search, expecting it to show in the large field on the right.  It found it after I clicked on Components>KDE Desktop. 

I feel so stupid!   

Thanks, as I learned something by this mistake.

Regards,
Lisa

What I would like in the PISI package Manager interface is just a tiny bit more of info on the packages, especially which version number a certain package is.
Now you only see the package name and the short description.
Perhaps this can be a bit more adjustable in future Pardus versions?

Click on the package name and watch the result.

atolboo, now that, I did know about. 

If I had to add anything in general about all package managers I have tried, including the terminal based aptitude, is the ability to use "page down" , "page up" or the up or down arrow keys to scan through the packages instead of using the scroll wheel on my mouse or clicking on the side bar arrows or slider bar on the screen using my mouse.  I do remember aptitude had short cut keys for selecting and scrolling , but I don't think they included the arrow keys or page up/page down.

Now you're going to tell me how I can set up these keys to do this, right?     I'll have to look into it, seriously, as there probably is a way to do this.  It's more comfortable for me to use the key board keys than the mouse.

Once you have clicked - not selected, just clicked - on an item of the list of packages, you can use the arrow or pageUp/Down keys.

ah, nice!  Thanks, PhiX!
