word documents
 
I just got my N800 and can't figure out how to view word or excel files. Can anyone help?

It's that way by design.

You can print the documents to pdf and watch them on your n800. Google for a free pdf driver (http://www.primopdf.com/ for instance)

There seems to be a doc reader here:

I think it will just convert the doc file to text or pdf but I assume that it does this on the actual tablet.

Search this forum for abiword. This should open your word files, at least those not-so-complex. In my hands, the 2.2.7 version is more stable. Hopefully, a newly compiled version will be published by Megabyte405, a forum frequenter.

Yeah, AbiWord is coming. For XL files, get Gnumeric - works great, used it just the other day. maemo.org has a single click installer I think.

Where can I get a downloadable / install version of Abiword 2.4.2 for my Nokia 770? Or is a newer version just as good?

Gnumeric is fantastic. It's been able to handle everything (admittedly relatively simple, I suppose) that I've thrown at it).

The only version of Abiword that currently runs somewhat stable (but still lacking) is version 2.2.7. Can't wait for a newer version.

I noticed you have a N800 - are you referring to stability in regards to that unit? It is my understanding Abiword is currently optimized for the 770.

There is a -- IMHO -- very stable version 2.2.7 for N800. It's not Holdonized and not exactly what I'd call feature-packed (although I consider the latter usually a plus), but it works well.

Still hoping some coding genius gets around to porting LyX though...

Where do I get this version and how do I install it on my 770?

I followed the instructions in this post

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...7&postcount=22

which, incidentally, can be found without an overly complicated use of the search function this forum offers. :rolleyes:
