[maemo-users] Office document support

[From: Rainer Dorsch]

Hi Qole,

thanks for your response and the links.

I will look into the easy-deb-chroot stuff (running Debian since 1996 on all 
my systems:-). So far I thought chroot is only a toy and openoffice is far 
too heavy for realworld usage.

How enduser friendly is such an installation. E.g. can it be configured that 
clicking on a ppt document in the browser opens OpenOffice as viewer right 
away? Do I have to start OO always from the cmd line or is there an easy way 
to make it showing up in any kind of menue?

Many thanks,
Rainer
