so frustrating not being able to open docs when away from the office

Here follow these instructions:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Easy_Debian#Install_instructions:

Basically you need to install that application (for which you need to add the extra-testing repository), and then run that application which will download and install openoffice (i.e. easy debian).

Probably a good idea to plug n900 into the wall socket while you are doing this as it's going to be downloading alot and working alot - in total about an hour so you won't be able to do anything else with your phone during this time.

Once done and openoffice icon will appear - run it and wait for a little while (it takes time as it's a full blown Microsoft Word app like on your dekstop PC)
