Yes!
That would be way cool.
Way better support for rich text format.
I have even been getting my friends who are on MS to send me rtf format word files instead of doc. Ted has been very good importing them. And Ted defaults to rtf. So I can always give them a Ted rtf file and they can read it.

I am much more happy with Ted than I was with FLwriter. (I installed it on 4.10 just to see what it was like). RTF, tables, footnotes, what what else can one really ask for in a word processor?

I want/need MS (RTF) compatibility. Of course when I am working, I am running DSL in a big machine with 256 megs of ram and 20 gigs of HD space. I have have abiword installed too and love it. Its all a learning experience for this linux newbie.

For those who want and need a shirt pocket distro Ted gets my vote. I could live without spell checkers, Dillo and several other apps to get RTF. When I really want small and fast I sometimes drop down to the bash prompt and use Joe, since I cut my teeth on Wordstar on a CPM machine.

Keep up the good work John.

I have been having some problems with Ted lately. I have been trying to do serious work with it, rather than just look at it for a few minutes.

I will be merrily typing some divinely inspired text and Poof!! Ted just disappears. The desktp is still there, but the divinely inspired text and that instance of Ted have vanished into thin air.

I can't seem to figure out any way to recover the text, although I can restart Ted with the Icon.

I may have caused my own problem by pointing my sources list to sid and updating it when I was playing with apt-get to test other applicattions. I have also had AbiWord exit quite rudely as well, even taking me out of X occasionally. Of course Abiword does strange things in WindozeXP too. Either save very often, or don't write what you can't rewrite with it.

I'm thinking of going back to stable in my sources list when 0.510 comes out. Any ideas?
