Wanted: lightweight editor that can deal with odt/sxw files
Anyone know what I can use to open these without installing the whole OpenOffice suite? It's really too much for this system to run so I'd rather not. -- Paul Beard contact info: www.paulbeard.org/paulbeard.vcf pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pdb206/ Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem?

depends what you mean by "edit"; they are zipped xml files so you should be able to "open" them with any editor once you unzip them. You could also try docs.google.com // George

By edit, I mean edit, as it read/write/modify. I was wondering if there was an editor that understood those file formats and would work with them, rather than having to unzip the meta file and work with the xml (in what?). - -- Paul Beard contact info: www.paulbeard.org/paulbeard.vcf pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pdb206/ Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGCsVEfHLPwpj1/JQRAvPSAKCCCmH5uTmk0iOlh+SEqwzq6bHqvwCgiicE rwNwK82iS5Xo9bu/0ElixIM= =oYum -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I don't think you will find a decent wisiwig xml editor, certainly not lightweight. so what about docs.google.com??? // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator <IXOYE><

Never tried it til now. And it just bombed over the document being more than 500k.

I thought your problem was OO being big? You have to open the doc in your local browser, I guess it is lighter weight than OO, but you may be dealing with a square peg and a round hole. Need a bigger laptop? Sometimes I need to save (from OO) in an alt format, or cut and paste into a new docs document. Maybe that will help? // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator <IXOYE><
