Ability to Open & Edit OpenOffice files - Quickoffice for Symbian
,----[ Quote ]
| I use some open office files in my
| thumbdrive, so that i can easily transition
| between my home pc (windows) and linux
| netbook (Asus Eee PC). I hope Quickoffice
| can support these files, so that I can also
| use them on my S60 phone (Nokia E71)

Open formats over open words
,----[ Quote ]
| There are some file formats which are published,
| open standards. Portable Document Format (PDF)
| is one you've probably heard of. HyperText
| Markup Language (HTML) is another. OpenDocument
| Format (ODF) is an ISO international standard,
| and the tools to use that format are free. But
| there are other file formats which are
| proprietary, and can only be edited natively in
| one specific application. The formats used by
| Microsoft Word (DOC and lately DOCX) come to
| mind. WordPerfect (WPS) is another program which
| uses a proprietary file format to store
| information.
|
| If I receive a PDF or HTML file, I can open it
| in a wide variety of applications, some of which
| are both well designed and obtainable for free.
| But if I'm sent a WPS or DOCX, I need the
| specific application that was used to create the
| file to open it reliably. Requiring me to have
| certain computer software doesn't seem very
| inclusive. âBut everybody has Microsoft Word!â
| you might be thinking to yourself. Is that the
| same âeverybodyâ who celebrates Christmas? Think
| about that.

Danish Municipality of RÃdovre Expects Open Office To Reduce Costs Over Long Term
,----[ Quote ]
| The municipality announced on 6 November
| 2009 that, as from the next week, it will
| start to use OpenOffice, alongside its
| proprietary alternative. However, the
| municipality plans to fully move to
| OpenOffice eventually.
|
| RÃdovre has installed OpenOffice on seven
| hundred desktop PCs.
|
| The municipality's move to OpenOffice was
| announced at the annual OpenOffice
| conference 'OOoCon 2009' which took place
| in Orvieto, Italy, from 3 to 6 November
| 2009. At the conference, Leif Lodahl, a
| volunteer project manager for the Danish
| OpenOffice project, gave a presentation on
| the integration of existing document
| management tools with OpenOffice: "Moving
| to OpenOffice improves control over the
| documents and allows the municipality to
| automatically convert relevant documents
| to PDF."
