Hi all, I am wondering where to get freeware document viewers, I just came off using an Eseries device & it has QuickOffice build in.

On N900 only Adobe PDF reader/Viewer is included, why isn't QuickOffice? I want free apps not trial apps, best regards.

download gnumeric for all your excell needs.   it is a fully usable excell software.

Hi ceroberts75, I have looked everywhere for the app gnumeric, at Ovi store & app manager downloads just couldn't find it.

I visited My-Maemo.com but they have very limited selections, can you recommend a site?

Much obliged.

Hi wilson63

Details of "Gnumeric" here, you would have add Extras-Devel to catalogues in Application Manager to see it:http://www.nokian900applications.com/gnumeric-for-nokia-n900/

[ceroberts75 · Accepted solution]

here, you can download fapn directly HERE ifyou are looking at this with your n900.

but you will need to install the extras-devel repository to your n900 if you want to get access to your updates for it.  

you can install extras-devel repository by clicking on HERE with your n900.

here are the settings:

Catalogue name: Extras-Devel
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

...or simply click here on your Maemo device to install it automatically.

there is also goffice, but i have never used that.  it is also in the extras-devel repo.

For document viewers on the N900, it's hard to go past Google Docs (http://docs.google.com). It's a web app and works particularly well on the N900 Microb browser.

Cheers,

Thanks again ceroberts75, you have once again earn your "KUDOS"! I choose to install FreOffice document viewer instead, but the rest of the other applications which I couldn't see before your link will probably come in handy in the future as well.

I still have the dictionary yet to be installed properly though, do you have any suggestions? Best regards

thanks.

Hi everyone, after loading the Extras devel repository the apps manager launches much slower than before, is this a direct result?

Are there any classic Solitaire or lottery generator games I can download? Best regards
