For any Wordprocessing app for editing, you really need to have an external keyboard, to save visual space on the tablet's screen. Also having the portable battery backup devices to help keep a phone and tablet charged up between "downtime" [when you have access to AC power] is a must. Also, you really need to take a surge protection device for when you charge your electronics. This makes sense even if you are charging the devices at home, let alone abroad. OFF Topic. . . You can download the language files for Google Translate, for most of the languages you can hear while online. This may be good for a traveler who does not speak the native language for the area that they are visiting. Having Translate and a good currency info app may help a lot. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Android version
There is also Eurooffice, which is free for Android and can be downloaded from GooglePlay. It has also (non-free) versions for Windows and some linuxes. 2015-09-14 14:41 keltezéssel, Tom Davies írta: Hi :) Has anyone here used the AndrOffice or the LibreOffice version on Android?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Android version
Why not take one of the free or inexpensive purpose built exchange rate apps for Android? Some of them will download updated exchange rate data when connections are available and all the ones I looked at briefly allow you to run the conversions offline. I think that would be a much better option than trying to force that into a spreadsheet type app. > On Sep 14, 2015, at 8:45 AM, Tom Davies wrote: > > I had thought about making my exchange-rate spreadsheet into a database. > I'm sure it would be far better, and would allow a purpose-built UI > front-end but the spreadsheet route is plenty good enough for this trip.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Android version
Hi Tom and all: I've used AndrOffice in my tablet. It has improved step by step. Now I think it is, in general, stable for general perfomance that I've used it. It has digital mouse and other special things. Another program that I've used is WPS (Kingsoft Office) but I think it isn't free software like LibreOffice but it is free an usually is stable. My experience with my tablet (10 inch) is that the screen is to small to work seriusly (For example to the job) or using digital keybord. To modify something fast is ok and so usefull and help a lot, or to review a file already finished. I hope this words help you and your friend, Regards, Jorge Rodríguez El lun, 14-09-2015 a las 13:41 +0100, Tom Davies escribió: > Hi :) > Has anyone here used the AndrOffice or the LibreOffice version on Android? > > Does anyone know if it installs onto the device itself so that it's usable > off-line? > > I have a friend who is going off to a distant land where they won't be able > to use their hand-held phone but has created a spreadsheet to help convert > between the various currencies they will encounter.

Regards from Tom :) Hi Tom, I've not had a good experience with AndrOffice - however the LO Viewer (from the Document Foundation) seems to work very well. There's also a developers option to enable simple editing, although I've not yet used it. The LO Viewer downloads to the device, so you don't need to be online whereas AFAIK all the others need internet access... YMMV.
