other office like app available?
 

I wonder if there is the other office like application apart from DocsToGo?? I remember I saw a video someone running openoffice, is it possible to port openoffice?

Many thanks

look for "easy debian" on these forums :)

Try Abiword (in the repositories) for a good Writer/Word app. It's small and fast, other than OpenOffice :)

i installed abiword, and its great.

does someone know a tool for editing and creating excel sheets and/or powerpoint presentations?

spreadsheet is also important, will Koffice only offer viewer only???

Try "gnumeric" - works very well - again much lighter/faster than OOO. I think you need extras-test to install it still.

Use Openoffice.org in Easy Debian.

Search for it in talk, qole has a thread somewhere, should be helpful.

It's a noob friendly process, and I haven't noticed any significant issues with using openoffice. (open in Debian LXDE for maximum space)

Writer = Word
Calc = Excel
Impress = Powerpoint.

Only problem is with impress - you're a little pressed for space, (slide preview, slide settings) unless you close those sidebars.

(Other bugs: If the keyboard seems to not be responding, press the power button, and click outside of the menu in LXDE.)

Hope this helps. :)

EDIT: Although there is no major lag, and it works fine, it definitely isn't light.

Will abiword open documents created in word? I have a file on my groupwise log-in I'd like to be able to open on the go.

I would think Quickoffice would come out with something soon. They obviously have the technical knowhow, having versions already for symbian, iphone, palm, and blackberry

I believe it will. But, I seem to remember that it was not yet optified. (I could be wrong.)

In any case OOo works very well. See my signature for mere info.
