Vista + Office 2007 + Docx cannot sync! - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Is this normal? the new Office 2007 documents come with a letter x extension like .docx
The problem is windows mobile 6 cannot recognize the file, let a alone synchronize the file. Any work around for this? Why would microsoft introduce a new file extension that windows mobile 6 cannot support? I could still understand if Windows Mobile 5 cannot support. but At least the new Windows Mobile 6 should be able to support the file type.
Thanks

WM6 will sync .docx files, the problem is, it is pointless. docx is a new format of the .doc file. that comes only in office 2k7 and is incompatible with any earlier version of office, including pocket verson.
Anyway, for you to be able to view .docx files, on any ppc, just save it as Office 2003/XP compatible format. and then sync.

Unable to see Powerpoint files with ClearVue

I have few Powerpoint 2003 files on my desktop, which I want to see on my XDA IIi with ClearVue software. But on tranferring the file to pocketpc, it fails to open with ClearVue, stating that it is can not open this version of powerpoint. Any suggestions ?
i would try to save the powerpoint presentation to and older version format you can often do that with office programs if you choose save AS
or export to
RE: PPT 2003
Hi,
I found this link to a program called 'Pocket Slides'. You edit them as well with this program. I'm not sure if it opens 2003, but it might be worth a try with the 31 day trial. See there FAQ for more help.

Office 2K7 Native Files

One of Microsoft's big selling points of WM5 was that it could read and write native Office 2003 files. I've seen Office 2K7 in a few "home-cooked ROMs" here and would like to know if this is working natively with the new XML Office files. If so, has anyone had compatibility issues with syncing with an Office 2003 desktop environment?

Syncing Office files on WMDevice Center

I'm running WinVista x64, which uses the Windows Mobile Device Center to manage syncing instead of ActiveSync. From reading on this forum, I understand that Office Mobile included on the AT&T Fuze is Office 2007, right? I'm using Office 2003 on my PC and I can't get the Word, Excel, or OneNote files to actually synchronize. I don't mean putting them on the device; I'd like to update one file on the Fuze and have the corresponding file on the PC updated next time I sync. Does Windows Mobile 6.1 and WMDevice Center really not support this functionality?! I can't figure out how to make this work. When I click on the "Files" and "manage settings" (or something like that) I get an unhandled exception error. Do I need to reinstall WMDevice Center on my PC? I also tried Documents to Go (3rd party software). I like their Word and Excel applications better than Office Mobile, but the Adobe Reader LE is better than PDF to Go. However, DocsToGo doesn't even support syncing documents on the Windows Mobile platform (or at least not with Vista and WMDevice Center).
Please help! I'm really floundering around here with this thing. There's so much to like about this phone (and so much that I do like about this phone) that I find it impossible to believe that I can't sync changes in a Word or Excel file with my phone and PC; something I've done on the PalmOS for years now!

Hows to associate alternative to Pocket Word/Excel in e-Mail client?

I have a HTC Touch HD running Windows Mobile 6.1.
Also using Blackberry Connect to provide wireless synchronisation to email, contacts and appointments via my corporate BES.
Have the SoftMaker Office 2008 for Pocket PC to allow me to work on word, Excel and Powerpoint files on my mobile device.
The SoftMaker Office 2008 programs (Testmaker, Planmaker and Presentations) are all associated with the appropriate file file types.
For example if I click an an excel file the file is opened for editing by Planmaker, not pocket excel.
The Problem.
I receive office type documents as attachments in my windows mobile device email. However when I open the attachements from within the eMail the default pocket word/office applications are used to show me the attachment instead of the Softmaker applications.
I work in EH&S and the majority of attachents I receive are Incident Notification Forms consisting of large mutil tabed excel sheet. Because they are large and they take a long time and considerable space to fully download.
I am happy to be able to see the initial part of the attachment (with option to download more) but I would like to see this in Planmaker as pocket excel screws the formating so badly I cannot read the summary information (displayed on the initial tab on the spreadsheet) which I need to read to determine if I should download the entire file to my mobile device for immediate action or wait until I am back in the office.
Is there a way to associate an alternative application (eg Planmaker and Textmaker) other than Pocket Word/Excel to handle attachements in the windows mobile e-Mail Client?
I have asked this of the Softmaker Office Support team but they were unable to provide a solution.
Hope I have explained my issue appropraitly, any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

No ideas from anyone?

[Q] onenote mobile 2010 missing in windows mobile device centre sync content settings

Hey guys.
I've been looking around for a solution to this problem, including on these forums,with little luck.
I am using office 2010 on my server 2008 r2 machine and office mobile 2010 on my windows mobile 6.5 device. both have onenote 2010 installed (mobile version on ppc) and i would very much like to be able to sync my notes.
However, when i try to set onenote to be one of the things for Windows Mobile Device Center to sync, it simply is not there. everything other sync option is present (contacts, calendar, e-mail, tasks, notes, favourites, files) but onenote is not.
i found a solution posted that worked for office 2007 and onenote 2007 here that involved adding registry keys:
ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-474538.html
but i do not believe this would work for office 2010 as the directories are different and the files mentioned there do not exist in my 2010 installation.
if anyone could suggest a fix for this it would be most appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hi,
Sorry, no solution but exact the same problem. I tried to import these regkeys too without success.
Perhaps somebody who is successfully running onenote 2010 with sync can post this regkeys here?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\SpecialDefaults\PocketPC04\Services\Synchronization\Objects\OneNote Note]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\SpecialDefaults\SmartPhone\Services\Synchronization\Objects\OneNote Note]
I tried to fix the problem:
- reinstalling WMDC
- repairing Office 2010
- deleting parship
I am using a 32-Bit Version of Office 2010, so I think the MS KB article is not important: hxxp://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B982458&x=21&y=12
Thanks

onenote 2010 sync help (sort of)
I have attached two .reg files from windows 7 which show the values in the registry keys requested by vodafone.
I had been successfully using OneNote 2007 mobile on my Tilt to sync with OneNote 2007 on Windows 7 via WMDC 6.1 since 2009. I upgraded to 2010 on Windows 7 and recently bought a Tilt2 and installed ENERGY standard 23678 (Aug 22). When running WMDS, the option to sync Onenote was still there as before (I did not reinstall WMDC). However, Onenote 2010 Mobile would not sync with Onenote 2010 on PC. I am not sure what made the difference, by I deleted the mobile notebook on my PC, re-established the partnership between PC and Tilt2 and selected the OneNote sync option in WMDC. On sync operation, a new mobile notebook was NOT created. I rebooted the PC and tried sync again and this time the notebook was created on the PC (go figure). However, the notes would not sync until after I changed the properties of the mobile notebook (in Onenote on the PC) to be 2007 format. After I did this, the notes successfully sync'd in both directions as they did on Onenote 2007 and the Tilt.
I know this doesn't give you much concrete info for solving your problems, but I can tell you that I do have it working between Onenote 2010 on PC and Onenote 2010 mobile on a Tilt2 running the latest ENERGY Rom (connected via USB).
See attached Windows 7 .reg files which contact the values vodafone requested, but not sure they will be any help to you.
Hello tomstilt2008,
Thank you for uploading the regkeys and for sharing your experiences with us!!
Unfortunately adding the regkeys to my PC did not solve the problem. OneNote "Icon" appears now in WMDC but it gives an error message during sync: "OneNote: Attention". No more details are logged.

Perhaps this has something to do with our office versions? I am using Office 2010 Professional Plus ver 14.0.4760.1000 (32-Bit).
This solved my problem, thank you SO MUCH DUDE!!!
