dfinch: word perfect support is also in a plugin, so it's in the same boat with odt and ooxml. It's actually a bit trickier, since it requires a dependency - the order in which I'll add plugins will probably be odt first (no new deps), then ooxml (just a build-time dep), then perhaps wpd, possibly in its own package.

File format support: You should be able to set file format by typing the extension and it guessing, however, that doesn't work right now. If you must create docs on tablet in a specific format (and can't install abiword on your desktop to convert) create a blank document in the appropriate format on your desktop, copy it over, then open it and save as in tablet abiword. This is a filed bug - somebody might want to find it on that list and mention the current behavior if, for instance, you do save as and enter "test.rtf." This might also be a reasonably-easy bug for a new dev to try tracing down.

(RTF and word doc support for loading and saving should work fine in this version, so you can use the above workaround to save as those formats for now, too!)

FYI: the file open screen should be the same as every other ported (hildon) app, so like the notes program, etc. It is not the same as what you'd see in the debian abiword - this is one of the effects of the hildonization - native port.

Arnd: Could you file that language issue? We do our best to guess what language you want your stuff in, so I'm actually going to guess that this might be a Maemo weirdness (having the language be different from the locale in a non-standard way) but if you report it and can answer some basic questions in an xterm when someone asks them that would be useful
