xubuntu - office patch

[George Lesica]

Thanks for the comments, I'll make those changes tonight (it's 11am here :)
)

Abiword can handle MS Word, so that's fine but I'll change the order of
things and clarify the OOo stuff definitely.  If I have time I was thinking
of adding sections on abiword, gnumeric and maybe inkscape, sort of like the
section for gnucash.  gimp is pretty well documented on its own i think.

Anway, I'll send another patch this evening.

Thanks,
George
