Some people here asked about an OOo viewer- so I thought that this
thread snippet from one of the OOo mailing lists would be of interest...

I was just thinking, wouldn't it be great if each tool of openoffice
(writer, impress, math, draw) are available individually as an
extension
of firefox and available as one of the tabs. Its like you open the
writer tab, impress tab, draw tab etc. When the user clicks on
the tab,
all the toolbars change to match the tab selected.
I have just started an OpenDocument viewer extension for firefox.
I have
not seen any similar projects out yet. If anyone knows about a
existing
project, drop me a line.
There is a pygtk viewer called Visiooo-Writer and also a Java one
called oooview (very similar indeed) https://oooview.dev.java.net/
This effort is scratching a personal itch. I use oo.o exclusively
and am
getting tired of sending documents to others and then having them
complain that the document is corrupt;)
With a firefox viewer available, I can just attach a link to the
viewer
in my sig. <danger zealot mode>This will allow me to stave off the
whole, “No it is not the .odt that is corrupt. It is just that the
seller of your current office product is unwilling....” </danger

The approach I am currently taking it to use a XSLT transformation to
convert the OpenDocument XML to HTML. Then the HTML can be
displayed in
a XUL textarea.
