OpenOffice is available, but slow. I have not tried it. Abiword is available here to read Word but I have not tried it. Also gnumeric from extras-devel or here to read Excel (I haven’t tried that either, but I use it on my desktop as a spreadsheet). For Powerpoint, one can run OpenOffice on a webserver and do conversion on the fly. I implemented this on my home server but it’s a) not for public use and b) offline. To view an Office document that’s publicly available online, you paste the document URL into a text box and the script returns PDF viewable on the tablet.
