Opening Word documents with Lubuntu

[Marc Tremblay]

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

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?
Thanks,
Steve
