I'm still having problems. Are there any hardcoded paths that might be
different from my system and yours?

Spellchecking isn't working AT ALL (at the LWE, I saw atleast color

I've been unable to import any word documents. I keep getting error
importing file.doc.

And now I'll add a third question, are any graphics formats supported for
