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

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...

How can I get a WM 2003 program running on WM 6.1? Help please!

Hello community of xda-developers,
I got a huge problem: I just changed from my oldschool Windows Mobile 2003-PDA to a brand new HTC Touch Diamond with Windows Mobile 6.1.
I used to use Powerlex 4 mobile dictionary from GData, which worked fine on my wm2003-device.
Now i installed it on my touch diamond and the program runs, but once i try to look up for a word the program crashes and WM 6.1 gives me an error message/message, that a problem has occured.
Is there any way of getting this program run on WM 6.1? Thanks!

How about just switching to a different dictionary? Lexisgoo Dictionary is excellent and works well with WM 6.1

problem is that I was usually looking for some Freeware, but no matches in google. I don't want to pay again 39,99€....the GData powerlex 4 cost me this price I want to continue using it!

by dictionaries do we mean books i was just wondering why not by the book.

hey jayjay, no, by dictionaries i mean a program, which can translate and describe you words and sentences from german to french or from french to german, etc.

Launcher Apps

Hi!
does anybody know nice Launcher Applications for WM 2003 like PointUI? Maybe "TouchFLO" for WM 2003? I have an IPAQ rx3715 (If this is the wrong Forum, sorry)
Hope that you can help,
Thanks in advance,
mautz001
And like always the notification
15 and from Germany, so if you find any language or grammar mistakes, please dont think that I cant speak english, I´m just learning it

Conduits Launcher runs on WM2003, but it is quite not the eye-pleasing class of apps like TF3D or PointUI.
Btw, did you try SPB Mobile Shell (maybe the version 1 has better chance of working on WM2003, but it is still really great launcher app)?

Thanks, but...
Hi CommZ
Thanks, but SPB Mobile Shell 1.0 doesn´t work on WM 2003 (not a valid pocket PC Installation File" and Conduits Launcher... ummm, no... No chance to "convert" PointUI to WM 2003? With some modifications in the setup.xml in the cab I was able to install it but Wm 2003 says: "Home.exe is not a valid Pocket PC application"
Thanks,
Robin

help? dictionary app?

can anyone help me? I've been looking for a dictionary app for the hd2 and haven't had any luck! ino there is tons for the iphone so just woundering if there is any for this, thanks.

I am using "Langenscheidt Dictionary for Windows Mobile".
But I guess it's only available in german...

Install Microsoft Reader and then download the free Encarta Pocket Dictionary. I have used it for ages with other Windows Mobile devices. Actually can read various books with pocket Microsoft Reader. Ed
Edit.... Not sure Microsoft Reader will work with 6.5.... It appears the available app is for wm 6.1 maybe you could try it for us and report back. Regards

There are lots of dictionary apps for windows mobile.
Have a look at following links :

As a matter of fact I do think that there are lots of really good softs for windows mobile and they definitely can compete with Iphone ... and without the need to jailbreak or hack your own phone to be able to customize it a little bit !
But it is also a fact that it is more difficult to find the softs as there is no softaware catalog that could compete with the centralized AppStore : you have to search with google with a lots of keywords : Pocket PC, wm5, wm6, wm6.1, wm6.5, windows mobile and so on ...
<OFF TOPIC>
Yet the biggest enemy of Window Mobile in the ability to compete with Iphone is from my point of view ... Microsoft :
- With the aberrant conditions to entry MarketPlace for developers,
- And with their crappy windows phone 7 series that is maybe the biggest step backward in computer industry that I've ever seen,
they will totally kill Window Mobile and commit suicide to their mobile department !

Apart from "Encarta Pocket Dictionary" it is available the "Oxford English Dictionay" in .lit format for free some where in the net, and if you have a dictionary in .doc format (with hypertextual links) you can convert it to .lit format using the appropriate mirosoft word patch, all links will work in .lit too.
