Hi,
Having a problem with my Excalibur T-Mobile Dash. When I run office mobile word excel or powerpoint happens nothing...only folders come. I tried to install office mobile 5 and also 6 got in this forum but the error comes like "can't open...... " etc etc. I upgraded and downgraded between Windows MObile 6 and 5. But no result. I can't use either word or excel or prpnt.
Please help
If memory serves, Office Mobile v6 only allows you to OPEN Word, Excel, or PPT files and, in my experience, not all of them successfully opened. Office Mobile 6.1 lets you CREATE new Word, Excel or PPT files as well as open them (and, once again, that open thing is spotty).
Office Mobile 6.1 came with my Kavana wm6.1 ROM.

yea to create docs you actually have to import a blank one from your pc and then on the phone modify and save that....

Hi bennie,
sorry to say, but this is a known bug and long time problem of Windows Mobile.
When syncing Office documents (Word, Excel), those docs get converted from Office (on your PC) to Pocket Office and thereby loose different features (loosing formatting, linked text, graphics etc. in Word, complex formulas, etc. in Excel).
So sad but true, this is a "normal" behaviour in Pocket Word and Pocket Excel.
It's said that this is corrected in upcoming Windows Mobile 2005 (Magneto), but as I didn't have the chance to check this until yet, I hardly believe it... :?
HTH,
BGK
Ok I want to know if I can create or modify a word or Excel document in my excalibur?
uhm no you can't. its only for editing.
why are you confused?
yes you can someone on modaco forum post a plugin to do that...
yes u can (as long as you wm6).. here is the link to download the program that allows you to do so:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252990
you have to register on that website before you can download (its free)
omar
of course you can use blank docs from your pc or use the modaco app.
the op was asking if mobile office allowed you to create docs though when obviously it does not.
we don't even know if he has mobile office or wm6 so this could all be moot.

So, the more complete answer is:
1) If you are still running WM5, then:
a) You can buy Docs2Go, which will allow you to create and edit Word/Excel docs, or...
b) You can "port" the WM6 Office Mobile apps (Word, Excel) to WM5, then...
2) If you have the WM6 Office Mobile apps running (either on WM6 or WM5), then:
a) You can use the MoDaCo app DoNew which creates new Word/Excel docs, which you can then edit with the WM6 Office apps, or...
b) You can simply create a blank Word and Excel doc on your PC and then keep them around on your Dash, and copy each time you want a new doc, or edit and use SaveAs.
well thanks for all the repost.

When you click on the new doc, it will ask you where to save your new doc. and Word Mobile will start.In Word Mobile, you need to click on menu and choose edit, which will allows you to type in your next text.
Gah! so many steps!!! lol
thanks! i thought edit would be the copy paste settings.
when i hold the end button, some icons show up.
what are they?
thanks

If that doesn't do the trick, try Tools > Conversion Settings on ActiveSync.
You may want to make sure that your Excel files are or are not converted on their way through.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend using Pocket Word/Word Mobile or Pocket Excel/Excel Mobile at all, even for reading files, as they don't read most content from most common files - which means that their main potential usefulness was destroyed by MS before it was ever issued. And has remained so. Softmaker Office 2006 reads and writes Excel and Word files in their original form and I use it heavily.
You can get the Textmaker (Word) and Planmaker (Excel) seperately if you want to.
No I'm not promoting either, just recommending.
Hi, I installed NRG's 1.7 rom remade by Ricky and stylez a week ago....I guess an application I've installed since then messed something up. Excel, PowerPoint and Word Mobile won't launch from the start menu...they just open up file explorer. The same thing happens if I use celecmd to launch them. The other shortcuts in the Office Mobile menu(OneNote Mobile and Adobe Reader LE) work fine though. Sorry this isn't dev related, but does anyone know how to fix this?
Open up Chome Config show the Office panel and click on them there
It's because there is no blank document if you put a blank document on an navigated to it would be the same.
Weird, first time using Windows Mobile and I assumed these apps would work differently. Thanks!
I installed Makuu's Roms (5CFA) 5.2.28002 WM6.5.x on my Axim X50V and I REALLY like the Titanium interface. It will be fun to play with possibly causing Jealousy in the kids
BUT ... it does not have Mobile Office and I really want mobile excel
I tried two versions of Mobile Office:
- One named: MS_Office_2007.CAB which did not install completely and required reflashing the OS to get it off my machine. It refused to uninstall.
- One named: PDACorner_Office2007.CAB which refuses to install on either the main memory or the Compact Flash card.
Questions:
- Do others have Mobile Office 2007 running on Makuu's 6.5 rom per above?
- If so, any hints to make it happen?
- Are there any 6.5's that have Titanium and Mobile Office in ROM?
- Any other thoughts???
Thanks,
Nick
So I reflashed yet another time and this time it started up differently with multiple iterations of the SDAutoRun (or whatever the name). When the unit came back to life, mobile office was there.
Now I have Mobile Office Why it worked this time I have no idea.
Sometimes these things have a personality and they don't always like you.
