I just got my N800 and can't figure out how to view word or excel files. Can anyone help?

You can print the documents to pdf and watch them on your n800. Google for a free pdf driver (http://www.primopdf.com/ for instance)

There seems to be a doc reader here:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/docreader/
I think it will just convert the doc file to text or pdf but I assume that it does this on the actual tablet.

Search this forum for abiword. This should open your word files, at least those not-so-complex. In my hands, the 2.2.7 version is more stable. Hopefully, a newly compiled version will be published by Megabyte405, a forum frequenter.

Yeah, AbiWord is coming. For XL files, get Gnumeric - works great, used it just the other day. maemo.org has a single click installer I think.

Where can I get a downloadable / install version of Abiword 2.4.2 for my Nokia 770? Or is a newer version just as good?

The only version of Abiword that currently runs somewhat stable (but still lacking) is version 2.2.7. Can't wait for a newer version.

I noticed you have a N800 - are you referring to stability in regards to that unit? It is my understanding Abiword is currently optimized for the 770.

Still hoping some coding genius gets around to porting LyX though...
