Creating and managing Office files

The Documents application provides powerful editing and file management features for Office
files on your handheld. What's more, Documents makes it easy for you to share files between
your computer and your handheld.
The Documents application has a companion application on your computer called Documents
To Go. Use Documents To Go to transfer files to your handheld when you synchronize.
Here are some of the capabilities of Documents:
NOTE
The Documents application does not support some editing functionality, such as
multiple font sizes and spell check.
• View Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files (DOC, XLS, or PPT).
• Create or edit a Word-compatible document or Excel-compatible spreadsheet on your handheld,
and then save it in the native DOC or XLS format.
• Create a PowerPoint presentation on your computer, use the Documents To Go desktop
application to convert it to a format that is optimized for viewing on your handheld, and then
synchronize to transfer the file to your handheld. View or edit the file on your handheld, and then
synchronize again to transfer the changes to the original PowerPoint file on your computer.
• Open Office files received as attachments to incoming email messages, and attach files to
outgoing messages.
