read ms office doc us N810
 

I want to read ms office doc (word excel ...) use n810. what program can be installed ? thanks!:confused:

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

abiword for the docs and gnumeric for excel.

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

Doesn't Abiword require debian and that?
I use docreader.

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

you can get abiword from http://rickybrent.com/maemo/debs
chinook | free nonfree abiword (v. 2.5-cvs20060720-0maemo2.1)

gnumeric from http://people.debian.org/~tschmidt/maemo/chinook/
./ gnumeric (v. 1.8.0-1chinook3)

or the experimental one from http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
chinook | free gnumeric (v. 1.8.3-1maemo1)

Silvermain: many thanks for posting those repository details.
I'd previously managed to get Gnumeric onto my Diablo-tablet, but despite much trawling through the forums I was unable to find such a tidy starting-point to get Abiword. I now have them both. Cheers!

it would still be cool to have a lightweight ms-office-reader. gnumeric/abiword a great applications, but i don't want to edit ms documents on my tablet. all i need to do is view them in case somebody sends them per mail...

http://gronmayer.com/it/index.php and http://ageofikon.info/packrat/ are two good places to look for repositories and packages.

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

I just updated my tablet to Diablo. Is there anything else i need to install to make gnumeric work? Every time I try to install it there seem to be something missing from the download.:confused:

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

this is the error i get:
Unable to install gnumeric
Application package missing: flash-and-rebbot (=3)
initfs-flasher (=0.95.16-200823maemo2)
kernel-diablo-flasher (=2.6.21-200823maemo3)
libpcre3 (>=4.5)
libglade2-0 (>=1:2.6.1)

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

why on earth should Gnumeric require fanoush's flashing tools? that makes no sense whatsover...

try typing (as root)

apt-get -f install

and see if that fixes things.

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

where do i type "apt-get -f install" as a root?

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

download easyroot from here:

http://nitapps.com/dists/chinook/use....0-4_armel.deb

Just click on the link from your tablet and it should install through the App Manager.

Then open "X Terminal" (it should be at the bottom of Applications menu --> Utilities)

and type:

Then answer "y" to any questions it asks :)

Hope this helps! :)

I use gnumeric to view/edit Excel files and doc Reader to view Word files. You have to also install Antiword for doc Reader to work. It uses Antiword to convert MS Word files to pdf or unformatted text files. The text files can be viewed from within doc Reader.

I installed gnumeric, doc Reader, and Antiword in Diablo without any problems. The last I heard, Abiword on OS2008 was still quite buggy, but I haven't tried it.

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

i have installed the easy root, but when i try typing "root
apt-get -f install" it states type help for a list of commands.

P.S. thanks for your help

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

When I try for abiword.....

Error 403 - Forbidden

You tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges.



any other link to try



Nokia-N810-23-14:~# apt-get install abiword

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

David, it looks like you don't have the repository in which abiword resides set up in your app-sources list.

Try going to gronmayer.com/it/ and searching for abiword. It should come up with a one-click install :)

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

A functioning Gnumeric is now part of the Diablo repos - just make sure they are all up to date in application manager, and you can pick it from the list.

Btw, I had serveral duplicate repos ... to get Gnumeric to install, I deleted the duplicates, let the new Diablo update run, updated a bunch of other apps and libs, and then re-installed Gnumeric. It reports version 1.8.3-maemo4.

I heard that Dataviz will be making Docoments to go available.

Re: read ms office doc us N810
 

before typing apt-get -f install, you have to have root privileges. so type sudo gainroot and you'll be good to go.
