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.

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.
