Aside ... how to do fancy URLSIf you want URLs to appear just type them thus: http://www.test.com and it will automatically be recognised as a URL

If you want to be a bit fancier you can use the "Insert hyperlink" button in the message editor. It will pop up a bit of code with URL and /URL in square brackets [ and  ]. To get a fancy link like this: test the easiest way is to type the word 'test' (the link text), highlight it with the mouse and then click the 'insert hyperlink' button and the following will be inserted into your message:


--- ---[url]test[/url]
Now before the first ] type = followed by the URL so it looks like:


--- ---[url=http://www.test.com]test[/url]
and that is it.

References to 'code' can be ignored, they are just there to force the forum to display the BBCode tags rather than use them to display URLs etc.

I've uncovered a couple of other major, comprehensive reviews of Office Suite alternatives and have just posted my own elaborations on my Becomine A Writer blog [link below].  Some of you may also be interested in the ONLINE WRITER'S OFFICE I've just set up, available for anyone to use.  It includes a gateway to Zoho Writer, some additional writer's tools, a bunch of blogs, columns and podcasts for writers, along with a summary of my blog's 10 most recent posts.  This mashup was developed through a PageCast, a new facility from PageFlakes  Just click on the link on my blog's sidebar.
