Viewing PowerPoint Presentations on LG KU250.

:-)

On last Saturday the provincial elections on North Western and Central Province were held. Being it in the middle of a exam season I did not had much of a enthusiasm to cast my vote but anyway my parents suggested me to have a visit if any means. Well I had no objections other than the fact that I will loss almost a whole day on the road in which time I could go trough some lecture slides.

OK there is possibilities to read while travelling. Printing slides, Reading on the laptop or on a ‘Smart’ phone.. I didn't feel like printing it just for a one day use. (Not because of Green IT but I’m not a fan of papers) neither I wished to carry my heavy weight laptop. I’m not wealthy enough to have a ‘Smart’ phone either.

But I figured out that I can save my PowerPoint slides as .jpg images so that I can have a look on the go in my LG KU250. So yet you can read office docs (with some conversions) on your non ‘Smart’ phone if you are smart enough.

And yet I can do multitasking as well. Listening to some music and/or browsing the web… As I always say It’s freaking brilliant. So then I have found one more usage of my beloved mobile phone.. and I could read some slides on the way back and forth home.

ODF plugin for MS Office

:-)

The OpenDocument format (ODF) is a free and open file format for electronic office documents, such as spreadsheets, presentations and word processing documents. ODF if primarily implemented by OpenOffice.org office suite and the main file format of the respective product.

This file format was popular among linux (Primarily open source developers as well) fans but the pain was using these documents under a Windows PC having MS Office. MS Office does not natively support OpenDocument currently. However you can download ODF add in for Microsoft Office at http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter. And the MS Office will natively support the ODF format from SP2 of Office 2007 onwards.

Enjoy!
