MS Office documents on Android - General Questions and Answers

Hi there,
I would like to ask whether there is a free app for Android capable of viewing and editing MS Office Documents? I know just about Documents to go, but, unfortunately, it isn't free. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Is there a way to use deeper folders in W6.1 Mobile office?

Hi,
I have recently bought a Samsung Omnia, which I am fairly happy with. ifonz makes it a gem!
Still one thing which I think is plain stupid is that MS 6.1 Office Mobile can only access folders to a "depth" of two folders.
I'm curious is there a registry tweak to get past this? Or any other way?
I need to keep notes, docs, photos and the like fairly organised.
Softmaker Office(70€) can do it, but is fairly expensive. So I think, if Softmaker can do it, it does not seem to be a limitation of Win Mobile but rather of office mobile.
It there is no workaround, how can I deinstall Win Office Mobile and replace it by Softmaker?
Office Mobile seems to be integrated in Win Mobile.
Please use simple instructions I am not a computer wizkid (but I can change reg entries if you tell me where).
Thanks a lot!!

I finally solved this issue:search in developers site "filedlgchg" and you will find 2 files to put in windows ppc folder...(follow the instructions in the post).
To navigate in folders you must press in left corner of bottom bar(to go up)or directly in the folders in popup window(to go down)
It works, but only partial in office mobile..
Hi, at least I can save now where I want. Great. Still I can not open where I want. At least not in Office applications. Is there a work around for this too?
Thanks for your help,
Franziska
I don't use office application to open office files.I use shortcuts to single docs or folders in Mortbuttons application:try it, it's a very good software...and free!!

Need a decent spreadsheet program - any suggestions?

Hi all.
I have an XDA Mini S that I'm currently running WM6.1 on.
I usually use it for spreadsheets, and need a program that I can use vlookup in Excel on it.
Excel Mobile just won't do it.
Any suggestions for mods or other compatible programmes that can be used instead would be much appreciated. I'd prefer to keep using Excel on my PC but I'm happy to switch apps on the phone.
My desktop currently has Win XP pro and Office XP pro, currently fully up-to-date.
Thanks in advance.
*edit* Thanks to Janis, I've moved this into Q&A. I've googled for Excel Mobile and Mobile Office, but haven't really found anything specific enough
You can get "documents to go" but the best one is Softmaker office.. they both cost money ofcourse. There is also third one which is the worst one "quickoffice". And it also is not free. Only case with softmaker office is that it cannot open new office 2007 stuff (like *.docx etc.)
Not sure what you are trying to do with vlookup but it works for me (see attached) created on my wizard running wm 6.1 and office 6.1.
It looks for "mick" in the range B:E and returns the value in row 0 (which is row 1 really) of the left most column.
You should be able to edit it for your needs.
Hope it helps.

OpenOffice Viewer

Hi. Is somewhere there an applicaton to let me see/work with OpenOffice files??
I second that question !
http://www.softmaker.de/
Softmaker could open and work with the writer format unfortunatly not yet with Calc or Impress.
I also hope that in the next Version - the new desktop Version is allready out -that they support more OO formats.
Best regards
dingolino
PS: By the way Softmaker is better in handling Windows Office files than Pocket Office by itself - and no I am not getting paid for saying something positive about Softmaker, just bought it and use it from time to time

Document Stuff

@Combat goofwing - the transformer comes with the Polaris Office suite pre installed which handles MS Office documents i believe.. so that should sort out your requirement for Word
Speaking of which, has anyone given Polaris Office a good going over yet?
..and are there any decent android alternatives knocking around?
There is QuickOffice. I'm not a fan of doc format so I probably won't use PolarisOffice or QuickOffice if I'll find an alternative. There is of course Google Docs - which probably will be enough for me.
offline editing will be handy though.. and compatibility with office will be a headline for many (especially with the forthcoming dock)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes. I'd prefer rtf or odt though because I use Libre Office on my computer and most my files are odt. I can settle for docs though, Libre Office doesn't have problems with them.

[Q] Offline note application with categories or tags for WM6.5?

I know it's weird for you to read someone ask this in the year 2014, but I'm actually using a HP iPAQ 216!
Anyway, I REALLY don't like it's note application. I used to use a Palm TX and I could organize everything in categories, then I could synchronize it with the Palm desktop software and I could find everything organized in the same categories and I could even edit them from my desktop computer.
Does anyone know of a similar application for Windows Mobile 6.5? Hopefully freeware, but it doesn't have to be, just as long as it does have those characteristics.
I installed Evernote for WM6.5 and it's really close to what I'm looking for, the major problem is that I can't read the notes without a WiFi connection. That's a BIG problem for me.
I REEEEEEEEEALLY hope someone can help me out .
