Damn it, I don't have a working Linux available right now. Can anyone share some info on how well the program works compared to other Linux office suites?

It's great news.
I tried it, but can't find a way to get a two-page (facing) view of my docs. This is basic.
I also need integration with citation software, because the built in facilities are pretty spartan.

Without that, I'm afraid I cannot move to softmaker fulltime.
