If I understand the question correctly, he would be looking for a
lightweight way of reading OOo files. If he only has a 16Meg USB key installing OO is probably not an option. I know this sounds bad, but I usually save the file in .doc format, since both MS and OO can open the files I can open them anywhere (yes some of the formatting may be affected). Later Dany Allard Kevin Anderson wrote: Why wouldn't you just install OO. That has the viewer, editing capabilities, and it's free. For what purpose would there also be a viewer?Kev.

I am thinking of something similar to Microsoft's offering of WOrd, Excell & PowerPoint readers that will allow to you to view and print but not edit the files. Ideally I would mind the extra functionality of being able to edit the file as well. In the few minutes of ggogling I did I couldn;t really find much but I thought I remembered something about AbiWord. I went to abisource.com and sure enough there appears to be a plug-in for OOo files and for SO 5.x files. ANyone have experience with these? Better suggestions? I am looking for something that I could potentially load on a USB key. I know abiword can fit on a key and will run within a windows environment so that is an option, but I don't want to limit myself. Also, am looking for a spreadsheet and presentation program similar to aboword that would ideally fi on a usb key and offering the same type of funtionality I was refering to above. My thinking with this is that if people knoew of the file viewers available for OOo and SO, then that might aid in the migration to the those products. If you were able to offer up OOo/SO files from your website but also provide people with the readers, then people might think twice about "choosing" or feeling forced to purchase MS office. Sorry for the rambling...is getting late and I am tired.. and under the weather!! :-( Cameron _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying_______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying This message, including any attachments, is intended only for the person(s) to whom it is addressed.
