Open Office Documents? (.dot)

Anyone know of a viewer for the iPad that recognized Open Office documents? I have GoodReader which is great. Especially since it connects to Clouds. However, it doesn't know what to do with these docs.

iPhone 3GS, iPad 64, Mac 20, Mac OS X (10.5), HP Duo Core, Vista, Win 7, Ubuntu

Some .dot documents are Microsoft Word Templates. They may be set up with formatting and things like a company logo , return address and signature line. Can yours be opened by Word?

You might experiment with one, and see what happens if you change the suffix to .doc.

I recall from several years ago at work, that .dot documents were sometimes identified by Norton as containing a virus.
