Hey friends,
I need to place images on a page, as well as text, and then print the result. It doesn't have to be accurate or anything. I just want to drag the pics around, and maybe make text boxes, or manage the text like on a word page.

Atm, I'm using AbiWord, and it's utter cancer. It takes forever to open, the pics are by default imported inline, they make line- and page breaks beyond belief, and what makes me mad most is that if I undo a page break, the page stays visible although it isn't there anymore because apparently their visual cache sucks ass. It's just tedious.

I recently installed the K Paint ripoff, but it's for some reason also terribly slow. Also importing images is too complicated.

It can't be that difficult, there are cheap ass online picture editors that do exactly what I want, "I want text here -> texttool - click- type - change font size" and "Here I want an image -> import from url -> image appears in a selection", however, then I have to go through saving it and transferring it into being ready to print again.

I WANT THAT SHIT TO BE FAST!

Pls help. Maybe a less capable but also less retarded MS Word clone would do fine?

LibreOffice Writer.

Don't use OpenOffice, LibreOffice is its successor.

Oh... I somehow was under the impression that AbiWord was the Go-To since I remembered Libre as slow as fuck.

But a quick test showed that it does exactly what it should.

Thank you, thread can be closed

Use (La)Tex/Troff/Postscript or even fucking html. Word processing software is cancer.

Use LaTeX
