Try easy debian. You get a desktop icon for OpenOffice 3!

I was hoping for a native App.
When abiword was working I could typically run it then open a file and read/edit/save what I needed in the time it took to open EasyDebian/OpenOffice

freOffice works pretty well but after a month of using it the file associations broke somehow. It would no longer open office files from the file manager/web/emails. You had to open freoffice and try to open the file manually that way.

Is this just me? Or have others moved on to a different way to display and {lightly} edit .doc files?
Is "deforma" something that should be installed? If so, would flashing/resetting the N900 fix this?
Update: After re-Flashing AbiWord installs. I think the "deforma" problem arises when an uninstall of
AbiWord removes too much...?
