Ubuntu Document Viewer App

Opening Doc attachments

Asked by Steven Austen

I have asked this question at the Dekko page as well. Not sure which one is appropriate. As the world still worships mainly at Microsoft many email attachments are either doc or docx. Document viewer doesn't seem to open them.

Hi Steven,

We discussed about supporting .doc and .docx formats during the last UCS meeting (in November, 2014), and we'd like to introduce the support for this kind of formats during this development cicle (15.04).

At the moment we are still focused on providing a proper support for the platform services and PDF Documents.

I will raise this question in the upcoming project meeting. We have already identified the most suitable backend for this purpose, Calligra, but we still need to get in touch with the other teams in order to include a Qt5 version of the plugin in the Ubuntu repositories.

Cheers,
Stefano Verzegnassi
