RdM: You should get a yellow banner saying something like, "Opening document.doc with OpenOffice" ... and I don't have docs to go installed, so I don't know why it is freezing on you.
@Qole I have made a fresh start . Flashed the OS and the mass memory.
Installed only easy-debian and dbus-switchboard.
If I try to open a docx or a doc file in the native maemo file manager. nothing happend.
if i choose from the "open with..." context menu dbus-switchboard .
If itry to open such a doc or a docx from a e-mail ( modest) attachement I got a black update screen for a second or two and the sceen goes to the desktop screen and nothing happend.
I was expecting that the documents would be openend bij "OpenOffice".
I got no yellow banner saying something.

When I check the settings from Dbus-switchboard
I see the following from Xref : .doc OpenOffice, .docx OpenOffice Writer
When check the Handlers I see : OpenOffice handler debbie ooffice "%params%"
for OpenOffice Writer handler = debbie oowriter "%params%".

Is my expectation wrong that doc , docx files could be opened with the maemo file manager utilizing the debian OpenOffice application.
With the pcmanfm debian file manager have no problem.
I suppose that when I can open the files with the maemo file manager that the doc e-mail attachment will be no problem

Do I have to change some settings ??? or is my expectation wrong as here we are talking of a maemo and a debian enviroment.

Would be happy if you could help as I got a lot of mails with doc, xls and pdf attachements
