For one ODF-supporting viewer that runs on iPhone and iPad. There is some talk about more-interactive abilities and some are asking that this app be brought to Apache OpenOffice for creation of a mobile and tablet presence as an open-source application. It is too soon to think about anything like a roadmap for that. It does indicate the level of interest though. And with regard to what is useful or not, I have reduced-function versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote on my WindowsPhone. The documents are synced to Windows Live Skydrive where I can also work with them in a browser or sync to my desktop for authoring work in full-up Microsoft Office. I don't make a habit of it, but I do have a couple of documents that I share across the full range and access in whatever way is convenient, just as I share my Outlook calendar and contacts (via Hotmail as the cloud part). All office-productivity suites are going to span to the clouds and onto small appliances. OpenOffice is no exception (and there is already some degree of ODF-supporting presence on Google Android devices). Whatever ones individual preferences and workflows happen to be, those choices are going to be available and they'll matter enough to some selection of users to make them important features. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Dan Lewis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2012 12:39 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Ipad2 On Sat, 2012-01-07 at 15:18 -0500, David H.

The Apple Store lists three apps that will work with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. There are other free apps that can be used for office work. Now to answer the OP's question. OOo does not have an app to use on an iPad. This may be a future development, but I don't know this to be a fact. There is talk of LibreOffice (a fork of OOo) coming out with an app for the iPad later. And at this point, this is only talk as far as I know. --Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
