Office 2003 vs Office 2007 - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Can anyone point out the differences between Office 2K3 and Office 2K7 (besides the file format issue)?
Is migrating worth the hassle of updating a ROM?

Unless you use Office 2007 on your home PC, I really don't see the need to move to Mobile Office 2007. Sure, it has OneNote but PHM Notepad does about the same thing (well OneNote allows you to put pictures and/or sound in your notes, but I doubt I ever use that).
If you are cooking a rom, Office 2007 is significantly larger than Office 2003 so it takes up more space (even with it compressed with the Squeeze tool).
With that said, I'm putting Office 2007 in my new rom (or so far it looks like I am), but I don't know if I'd flash a new rom just for it.

Really its all about how many poeple use office 2007 at this point to waste the space, as office 2003 works ok on the PPC.!!!
I will not be going to the masses, i am sticking with 3003 in my rom! And if people dont like it well thats hard!!!

Thanks, guys. Based on your responses and other web chatter, I figure it's not worth it.

Guys, I use Office 2k7 in my desktop so I would like to have mobile office 2k7 in my device (the real 2k7)... Where can I find the cabs to install/upgrade my office mobile?

as far as i know, there aren't cabs to update.. you just have to update to a new rom.. but i may be wrong.

Windows Mobile 6 Office Suite ported to WinMo 5 Smartphone

http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6328.html
Installed and works excellent. Though, it seems to be compatiable with Office 2003 formats, but not Office 2007. That seems a bit short sighted to me...
Still a nice find...

Its already been posted in a seperate thread for the cabs. Just search please. You will also need the CAB for the office fix that is in that same thread.
cannot find it... searched the forums but not found... have u any idea where is that thread?
4th or 5th page of this forum (or close to it). There is 2 threads. One is about the Office 2K7 native files (or similar) and the other is about Office 2K7 cab. Sorry, I'm typing from my phone so can't pull it up easily for you, but its there as I pulled the officefix cab from it just a few hours ago.
I double-checked these threads but no one have the Real Office 2007 cabs... The posted files are just a cosmetic for the existing office mobile binaries...
I tested it when tried to open a office 2k7 file in its native format and wasn't recognized by mobile office. In hte real version it is possible to open Office 2k7 native file format in a mobile device.
I guess that there is no official version of office mobile 2007 and it is a cooked version as all ROMs in this forum.
When someone have a ROM with both the official version of Winodws Mobile 6 and Office 2007 mobile, please let me know.
If you have OneNote 2007 on your desktop computer, you can install directly from there:

Sync through ActiveSync works great !!

Microsoft Office Mobile Update Accidently Leaked

I am sure that you all have read about the latest OOPS that a developer did in leaking a Mobile Office update that makes it compatable with Microsoft Office 2007. It also allows you to see documents that are compressed w/o having to unzip them.
At any rate once Microsoft learned of this little leak they took the site down. Read about it here: http://www.theunwired.net/?item=upd...office-mobile-6-1-for-windows-mobile-6-update.
You can still get this update that Microsoft took down if you are interested get it while you still can.

Office Mobile file formats

Sorry if this has been covered before, spent quite a while trying to find answers...
Does anyone know what versions of Mobile Office are compatible with what desktop file formats?
Finally got around to playing with Office on my TyTNII (running Qs ROM V1.1 and Office Mobile 6.1)
Unless I'm missing something, I can only open .xlsx or .pxl files - so thats Excel 2007 or Pocket XL only...
On my main PC I have Office 2000, and OpenOffice 2.3...
Excel 2000 seems to have no compatible file formats at all.
OpenOffice can save as .pxl, but Office mobile says 'format not recognised'
OpenOffice can supposedly save as Excel 2003 XML, but doesn't seem to work for me - and I suspect Mobile won't open it anyway.
Is there some special 'Work like a sane person would expect' menu somewhere that I've not found?

OneNote Mobile 2010 Attention Required

Help!
I have OneNote 2010, Windows 7 and a Touch Pro 2 running WM6.5
I had syncing through WMDC working and then it stopped (I accidentally deleted the OneNote Mobile Notebook). Now I get the 'Attention Required' message.
I have searched online and tried the fixes I have found. I have already tried:
Recreating the notebook
Deleting the cache folder
Reinstalling WMDC
Reinstalling OneNote 2010
Reinstalling Office Mobile
Hard resetting my phone!
It never recreates the OneNote Mobile Notebook and always says 'Attention Required'
Does anybody know if when Office 2010 is uninstalled from the PC, any files are left behind that might be causing this? If so, how can I get rid of them?
Does anybody have any ideas? I really want to be able to use OneNote Mobile 2010.
Hi,
I'm dealing with this issue as well, no solution found yet. I'm struggling with synchronization of my notes with my PC, having originally Office 2003 (where I could open PWI note files in Word) and upgraded to Office 2010 (where OneNote dedicated for Notes cannot open PWI files, nor Word can). Hello MS guys, what's up? Is that all you can do? You develop a fresh new version of software that actually doesn't do what it should do!!!
I want Microsoft to succeed, but they always do this!
Has anyone successfully used OneNote mobile? I get erratic syncing, no option to enter notes via "touchscreen writing". Important things disappear after syncing on regular basis. I had a very consistent method when I used 2003 with the notes and tasks. Upgrades to 2010, and haven't found any improvements with anything, just everything is more complicated and not as reliable. After hundreds of dollars, and hours of frustration...I'm going back to 2003!
Everything Microsoft comes out with these days makes me wonder what they are thinking over there! I no longer have any convincing arguments to promote them as good products when recommending software...
same here
are there any real solutions?
I know it's not a solution really, but after giving Windows Phone 7 a test run...I'm begrudgingly moving to Android. I've been a huge user of windows mobile over the years, but I'm finally jumping ship. Windows Phone 7 is totally sand-boxed and locked down, some people seem to like it...just not for me. I've been trying out other options the last few months since I saw the finished product of Windows Phone...I think after the initial time of getting everything converted over, Android is the way to go.
Temporarily to solve the OneNote things, I went back to using 2003. After I move to Android I will re-install 2010. I know...totally ridiculous, that I need to do this.
