That is in there. I use OpenOffice.org as my presentation method in all
of the classes I have taught. OO.o 1.1 includes a PDF writer. I have
completed the preliminary syllabus, and WINE is on the syllabus. 

I wil show the students that I have Microsoft Office, among other things
running on my Linux laptop. 

BTW: If anyone would like a copy of the syllabus (in .sxw or .pdf
format), I'll be glad to send it.
