Office/Excel editor for the N9
Hi all.
I desperately need a spreadsheet editor for the N9. I got very used to using gnumeric on the n900, and am now missing the functionality. I've searched the internet, looking for anu solution, but no love. Does anyone know of one beimg available? Or is this really an App request? |
Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
I've been looking for one as well but there just isn't one yet. The best option now is to install Crochik's GApp (http://www.crochik.com/gapp/) and access/edit Google Docs on it. Stock browser can't edit GDocs. Sucks I know...:(

Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
Ah yes, hadn't thought of that. Will have to do until there's a proper one.

Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
MS Office editor will most likely have to be a commercial product produced by a big commercial developer so prospect for this is not very good at the moment due to Elop having pronounced the death of Harmattan with "The Last Meego Phone".

Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
True it's the last Meego phone, but on the N900 we got things like gnumeric, Koffice, etc.
Hopefully someone can do a port of these, or a port of some of the Symbian ones that are floating around. |

It should be able to edit MS Office files which is the main point of an Office editor. Creating an entire document on a phone screen is a bit of a pain don't you think?

shouldn't be too long before caligra-mobile, or whatever it is called, turns up for the phone:

Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
You should be able to edit documents in Google docs, provided that the browser is capable.
I find it funny that people with the n9 here request features that are already present in WP7, but yet complain about WP7 lol. |
Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
I can confirm that editing docs in google docs doesn't really work, and that's using GApp. Grumble. :mad:

Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
Is Gnumeric available for the N9 yet? It can save spreadsheets as that crappy MS format, so it should be able to read them too.

Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
No gnumeric yet :( I wanted to try and install the deb from the n900 version, just to see if it worked, but haven't been able to find it.

Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
@SamGan
No doubt about that. Not seeing your point though. @medri My point still stands. I rather have the ability with a VERY easy 'workaround' than not having the option at all. I have no need to do all that you mentioned. I just have my documents in skydrive. If you're not sure how to use the device you shouldn't comment on its shortcomings ;) @Dockman If google docs doesn't work, it MAY be an issue with browser compatibility? What is the issue? rendering? Google usually uses open standards, so i ASSUME google docs is mostly html5 based with ajax. May be it'll come to the n9 browser with an update. Does Windows Live Office apps work? I'm not sure if Microsoft uses silverlight in there, if so then it'll be a no go as well. Worth the try I suppose. |

Another option (and my favorite!) is if Latex could work on N9. That would be great as the entire document is made by editing a tex document that, after it is processed, can be viewed as a pdf. |

I didn't say anything about Lumia....Lumia sucks.
Anyway on topic. Has anyone tried using the n9 on windows live office apps to see it they work? |

Edit: Above was with built in browser, Fennec just redirects you to mobile site so no go there. With opera Mobile I was able to create an excel file but I could just see/edit the first row in the file :( |
Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
heeeey, well a little sluggish is better than nothing at all I guess. I'm suprised that worked yet Google docs doesn't. Strange. With some updates the browser might be more capable, hopefully

Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
What about KOffice cant anyone port that?
|
Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
I'd love a spreadsheet editor too!
|
Re: Office/Excel editor for the N9
You can use Easy Debian for Harmattan (see the "Alternatives" forum) to run OOffice or LibreOffice. That's the only solution currently to my knowledge, but it's a good one.
