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.

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 !!
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.

I remembered reading the MS was going to offer a new version of Office Mobile for WM6 that supported the new document formats for free this summer (summer has only a few weeks left). I can't find any info about this at MS's website, anyone hear more about this?

No clue, but DataViz beat them to the market with Documents To Go 3 for Windows Mobile (and DTG10 for Palm OS, DTG 3.1 for Symbian UIQ, and DTG2 for Symbian S80).
The last time I used DTG it did not support creation. Has that changed?

Office Mobile doesn't allow creation on Smartphones, but DTG (I only have version 2) supports document creation (PowerPoint, Spreadsheets and Word Docs)

Hi there,
Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1: Upgrade for Microsoft Office 2007 file formats - 29-11-2007, 09:56 PM
Microsoft have now released Office 6.1 upgrades for devices, at long last:
Microsoft Office 2007 introduced new Open XML-based file formats for Office applications. These new file formats reduce file size, improve security and reliability, and enhance integration with external sources.
To allow Windows Mobile users to work with Office documents created in the Open XML formats, Microsoft has developed an upgrade for Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile applications. This upgrade to the Office Mobile applications allows viewing and editing of Word documents and Excel workbooks and viewing of PowerPoint slideshows created by using Microsoft Office 2007.
Other improvements include:
• Enhanced viewing experience for charts in Excel Mobile.
• Ability to view SmartArt in PowerPoint Mobile.
• Ability to view and extract files from compressed (.zip) folders.
Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1 Full Version to support Microsoft 2007 file formats
If your Windows Mobile device does not have a version of Microsoft Office Mobile prior to 6.1, you can purchase the full version of Microsoft Office Mobile.
The Office Mobile application suite includes Microsoft Office Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint® Mobile for Windows Mobile 6 powered devices, helping users manage and review documents. Microsoft Office Mobile includes support for rich reviewing and minor editing capabilities as well as support for rights-managed documents.
The primary user scenario enabled by Office Mobile is viewing e-mail attachments, performing minor edits, sharing document versions, and opening documents from an SD card or a SharePoint server. Office Mobile provides a high-fidelity document viewing experience, with capability to edit as well as fast performance in loading the first page of the document.
Note: This free upgrade works only for Windows Mobile powered devices that have an earlier version of Office Mobile. If your Windows Mobile powered device does not have Office Mobile applications, this upgrade will not work for you. You can purchase the full version of Office Mobile 6.1 online. For more information, click here -Microsoft Office Mobile: Word, Excel and PowerPoint - Windows Mobile.

WM6 Only
If I read the MS website correctly this is for WM5 & WM6 based units, but Handango say full version is for WM6 Only
http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&platformId=2&N=96806&productId=216382&R=216382
Anyone with WM5 tried this?

Apparently this will only work on WM5 Pocket PC version and NOT the Smartphone version.
I wondered why MS was now selling Office Mobile - I guess this is so the older platform that doesn't support this upgrade can now spend some $$$ to do so?

Nope, it seems more like MS is offering it for the older platforms for free and yet charging money for it on WM6 Smartphone devices that did not ship with a version of office... WTF? This upgrade is very confusing and strange...
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.
