Anyone know of any software that will reconize an address in a document (email, PDF etc) and use it to paste to a navigator programme (Navigate, Maps, Copilot), in a similar way that links (Phone numbers or hyperlinks) are used.

i see a search function in helmi's rom (aku3.0, v1.2) for my blue angel. it can search a word in any of the following: calendar, contacts, excel mobile, help, larger than 64kb, messaging, notes, outlook mobile, tasks, word mobile.
don't know how to extract it, though.
...I've got that search function in 'startpage\programs]...
It's embedded in the rom and will be installed auto after hard reset.
It's very simple program though...

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] Backing up & Editing Contacts-Calendar-Tasks, etc

Have searched but had no luck finding an answer. Can anyone help please ?
I have a HTC HD2 & I use MyPhone regularly to backup/sync events, messages and contacts.
I prefer to enter new calendar events on MyPhone, as it's easier to type the details in, and I can enter them quite quickly.
But there is NOWHERE near the functionality on the MyPhone website, as there is in the calendar-function of the phone itself..... eg: I cannot set an event to be recurring, or a "remind-before" alarm, etc, etc, using the MyPhone service.
The same can be said for entering new contacts using MyPhone. There simply aren't as many fields for entering details on the website UI, as there is in the phone itself.
So it seems pointless to use it at all. I fully understand that MyPhone is a generic system for backing-up details, over a wide range of phones that use WinMo, and each specific phone may have different fields to populate inside their specific contact or calendar functions.
Previous (Non-WinMo) phones that I've had (Like Nokias or SE's) have had their own specific utilities available for entering information on the PC, then sync'ing to the phone - and these incorporated all available entry fields, so that nothing was missed.... but MyPhone seems VERY basic in comparison.
So is there any other FREE programs I can use instead, to FULLY enter details in Calendar & Contacts, to then sync with the HD2 ?
Or do I have to go thru the process of adding ALL my contact/calendar events via the phone itself, if I want to populate ALL the relevant fields available????
Please Note: I DO NOT use address books or email programs, such as Outlook, that I can set up to sync. I have Win7 on my home PC which does not have Outlook or O-Express. I DO use Thunderbird for email, but don't have an Address Book saved, as I rarely email people - usually text only !!!
Bumping up.... anyone ?
If i understand u right the task is simple: open a Microsoft Excel file or Open Office Org Calc Sheet.
In one sheet u put contact with the header row containing named fields you want to sync, and all the data on the following rows, than export that file (care to have only one sheet - usually default new files have 3 sheets, so delete the rest 2 blank sheets before u save the file.)
Save file as.csv (comma separated value not .xls nor .xlsx default type for Excel / .odc for OOO Calc).
On windows 7 got to Users --> Your user --> Contacts than Import --> choose CSV (first option on 1st window) --> choose yourfile.csv (yourfile = yourfile name saved earlier) and ok.
Than also in Contacts window choose Export --> vCards than type ok
Now all your contacts with their date are also on vCard format.
Select all vCards copy/save em on SD card of your phone. Than go to phone choose Contacts -> Import/Export --> Import from SD card than choose all.
Now all your contacts with all the fields are on phone contacts.
For calendar is a bit trickier but similar.
Hope it helps.
Thanks mate..... seems fiddly, but will give that a try.
I assumed that after WinPho being out for SOOOOO long, the user interface would be much better by now, instead of having to use all these work-arounds
Cheers again
I have to ask. Why AREN'T you using outlook (either express or the regular one)?
Besides that, you have to understand that MyPhone is treated differently than outlook. The purpose isn't to act as a phonebook or calendar but to provide backup.
You can pretty much use any type of sync you like (from any POP one to IMAP, WEB.. and so forth). You can open up a gmail account and sync it with your phone so that you can sync it easily (of course, it will also sync with your myphone in case it was configured which would then provide a secondary backup (other than google).
There are plenty of cals/phonebooks wandering around the net.

Running Win7 on home and office computers..... no Outlook, or Express, on Win7.
We also run the Open Office suite, instead of Microsoft stuff... and I'm not prepared to spend $100's buying Outlook just for this purpose.

That's true I guess.... Basically all I want is a program, similar to the "Suite" provided with my old Nokia's and SonyErricsons..... something you install on the computer, you can edit your contacts and calendar easily from the PC (easier and quicker to type) then sync it all to the fone. I don't understand why this isn't included as a "standard" application with Win6.5, or the HD2. I try to get by with MyPhone, but as you said, it's not it's primary purpose.

Yes - I still have to research how to do this, as the methods/instructions I've found so far are a bit daunting, confusing, fiddly to a n00b like me !!!

Any you can specifically recommend? I'd prefer something free, from OpenMarket, or Handango or such like, but haven't found any as yet. I'm NOT trying to be a cheapskate.... I just figure that if I've spent $1000 (close to it) on a "Smartphone", then it should have basic things like Contact & Calendar editor for the PC included as standard
to be honest, since google are doing such a good job, i'd create a gmail account and sync my contacts and calendar with it. I'm using Exchange at work... so i don't need it.. but if i didn't have it, i'd definately use google.
try to set it up. if you stumble into some problems, let me know.
