Hi Steven, If you install Libre office your Word documents will automatically open with the Libre office writer program.
Open a terminal and type in: sudo apt-get install libreoffice From: lubuntu-users-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:lubuntu-users-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com] On Behalf Of Steven Duckworth Sent: January-06-15 3:52 AM To: lubuntu user list Subject: Opening Word documents with Lubuntu I am having difficulty opening Word documents which have been downloaded as Gmail attachments. Using Firefox browser I choose "save" to downloads, and when I go to "downloads" in Lubuntu I can't open the doc. If I right-click it will say "open with Firefox" and a web window opens with an unreadable (encoded) document tree. Can someone please show me a simple way to open such docs in Abiword, for example?
