On the contrary, EasyDebian's OpenOffice works fine with .doc files on the n810, it can open, modify and save them with no problem at all; no need to use your PC at all.
HTML may be more convenient for simple documents, as it requires much less resources, but if complex formatting is required or it is just a document someone sent to you then it is not an option.
