Re: Any way to edit Word docs on N800???

The current winner is Abiword. Ok, so it silently converts Word docs to RTF, but I have tested sending a Word doc to the N800, editing it and sending it back and editing in Word on Mac OS X, and it...

Re: Any way to edit Word docs on N800???

Ok, I now have MicroB as my browser engine, and Google docs is working... sort of. I get a cursor, but no way to move the cursor around. I'm using a Think Outside bluetooth folding keyboard, which...

Re: Any way to edit Word docs on N800???

Yes, I think I was actually editing a .SAVED file the first time I tried this; evidently those are saved in Abiword format (I looked in the file and it explicitly mentions this).

I just tried...

Re: Any way to edit Word docs on N800???

When I try installing MicroB it says it installed, but then I can't seem to find it anywhere in the applications. It was a 7.2 MB download, so I'm pretty sure I got *something*... how do I run the...

Re: Any way to edit Word docs on N800???

Update: Bit of a fly in the ointment here - I just discovered that when you edit a Word document in Abiword (on the N800) and then save it, the doc is saved in Abiword format, not Word format. So...

Re: Any way to edit Word docs on N800???

Thanks! Yes, I already had erinye in my catalogs, but Abiword 2.2.7 wasn't showing up in the installable apps list. I found that I had to disable the abisource catalog - then 2.2.7 showed up and I...

Re: Any way to edit Word docs on N800???

All I can see on the www.abisource.com/downloads/apt repo is 2.4.6. Where do people get 2.2.7 from???

Thanks,

Re: Any way to edit Word docs on N800???

I am somewhat new to the N800, so I would appreciate it if you could fill me in on what "red pill mode" is, and where the correct repo is... this would be useful info for other people coming upon...

Re: Optimizing JPEGs on N800?

Thanks, Mirage seems to do the trick nicely. When I tried loading and saving an image from my camera, it went from over 2 MB to about 550 KB. So it obviously automatically optimized it, which is...

Any way to edit Word docs on N800???

I have seen old threads on this subject, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me an up-to-date status. I have been able to install Abiword, but when I load a Word doc it just shows lots of question...

Optimizing JPEGs on N800?

I have managed to get pics off my Canon G3 (which takes CompactFlash) and on to the N800, using a CompactFlash/SD adaptor. That seems to work very well. Now I am wondering if anyone knows of tools to...

Re: Amazon price drop to $279.99 - They refunded me the difference

I just got my N800 ($359.99 from Amazon, via TigerDirect). Did yours come through a third party like Tiger Direct, or was it direct from Amazon itself? I'm not sure if it's even worth asking for a...

Re: Reading CompactFlash cards on N800?

By the way, is my new 8 GB SDHC card going to be safe from corruption in my new N800, or is that issue still out there?

Thanks again!

Re: Reading CompactFlash cards on N800?

Good to know - I got an 8 GB Kingston SDHC for my new N800. What do you mean by "there are non-standard 2 and 4GB cards"? I thought 2 GB was very safe and standard non-SDHC? I have never used this...

Re: Reading CompactFlash cards on N800?

That device, as someone else has mentioned, is for reading SD cards on a CompactFlash slot. I need to be able to read the CompactFlash on the N800.

Reading CompactFlash cards on N800?

I just purchased an N800 for use on a bicycle tour. I also have an old Canon G3 camera, which uses CompactFlash cards. I have a card reader for this that works via standard USB. I am wondering what...
