Word documents compatibility - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I have a problem with word documents sent me by e-mail.
From some people I can read the document from others it is impossible (it is only a mess of strange symbols).
Is there something that I can do?
I need this if I'm outside of my office and want to read a word document send me by email.
Thanks for any suggestion.

Hyperlinks

This may be a silly question but I thought I would ask anyway as I have been pleasantly surprised by you guys before.
Is it possible to create bookmarks / hyperlinks that enable jumping from the Task list to either Pocket Word or Notes?
I use notes to record daily events (meeting notes, details of phone calls etc...) and then create Tasks from these notes. It would be useful to jump via hyperlink between Task entries and Notes / Pocket Word Files?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give

Can PDA-phone Do this??

Hi all,
I like to know if you can use Email-client in WM V5.0-based PDA- phone to attach photo, video in the email and send?? For the same question, can this be done on Window mobile v2002 and v2003?
your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Hi WantaMore.
Pocket outlook can handle any attachment, incoming and outgoing just like it's big brother on the PC. I don't use it much so I am not sure if it will display images in the text (I think not) but you will see an attached file, which you can view and save. This goes for 2003 and WM5 (I am only 70% sure about 2002)
Hi levenum,
Thanks. Pocket Outlook is not 100% same as PC's Outlook. Therefore, I am sure certain functions are not included.
I had asked a salesman of Pda-phone. He said that PDa-phone can not attach video file and photo file except word, excel , powerpoint files in pocket outlook to send out.
Attachment for Window mobile -based PDA only for word,excel and powerpoint files in Pocket outlook is ok.
Please if you can verify this or confirm the above. Thank you.

I agree with Rudegar. Salesman are good in selling their products but usually terrible on details, especially tech stuff. No offence to all sales person, but try asking them if you can flash the ROM and have a totally new OS on the phone. Their answer may be "Oh, no, you can't do that, you can install applications and stuff in it, but the OS is fix, just make sure your applications are meant for this OS will do. Our package also include 3 software that will help you in your time management and we also have 3 months of free phone insurance and 100 minutes talk time. Would you like to pay by credit card or cheque?"
Anyway, I don't see why IF Pocketout look can attach a file, why can't it attach a photo? For a email client to attach a file, it needs an encoder, which translate a binary file to ASCII code to be attached at the end of the email. It should works for all file type. Unless you said that it doesn't have the attachment function (e.g. missing encoder) and then it can't encode/attach anything.
YES IT CAN!!!
As per WantaMore's request I went to test this on my jamin. Not only can POUTLOOK attach a video, the camera app has a button that lets you send the video or picture directly to mail, so you don't have to save the file, exit and open the email client. While doing this I remembered that iPaq 3715 also has this functionality so the answer is YES for WM5 and 2003.
Plus like hanmin said, it doesn't really matter to the client whats in the attachment, since the basic functionality is there you can attach what ever you want!
There's just one important point: email servers are often set to block attachments with certain extensions for security reasons. For example, my company's exchange server won't allow exe or rar files. This is to prevent virus spreading. (not very efficient by the way since it still excepts zip).
Oh and as for sales people, I recently switched my cell carrier (I won't mention to which one) and the person who sold me the SIM (I went to a service center) saw the device, and I specifically told him I want internet access, yet I found out the next day, the reason I could not connect to GPRS was that my package was for WAP service. Fortunately, they immediately rectified the problem and were very curtius. Goes to show they don't always know everything they should!

Don't know. Haven't seen this. I use Office 2007 and Word Mobile without problem. Except that some documents (but not all) saved by Word 2007 as DOC (ie old format) cannot be read by Word Mobile. I still haven't figured out the criteria involved.
how do you send it to your phone?
i'd guess you should check to see if it is read only. (and if it was an email attachment then it probably is read only)
can you "save as" to another filename?
i have just dragged it onto my sd card, and dragged it off to another machine and it was ok, but wont let me edit on the phone ?
I am pretty sure there is a save option in Word to ensure backward compatibility with older versions, but it is (true to Microsoft form) not the default setting for saves.
I am still using the old Word Mobile 2007 (WM6.1), because in the new 2010 version you need for selcting text always go the menu first (Edit -> select text or something like this).
I recognized in the older 2007 version that you can't select sometimes the text with the finger. Really weird. With other files you can select like butter.
I attached 2 files:
1.txt selecting works
2.txt doesn't work for me
Does anyone knows from what this depends or knows for selecting text at once in word mobile 2010 without using first the menu?

quick way to view email (office) attachment?

searched and didn't get any results. my friend owns this phone so I have no idea how to work it through.
basically she is asking how she could directly open email attachments (mostly office documents and pdf files), I find it only offers option to save to sd and then open it with documents to go or pdf viewer, etc.. I don't understand why there is no pre-installed document viewer? but hopefully you guys can prove me wrong or some better solutions.

You beat me to it! I was going to post this today. While I have not used it yet, the sheer fact that it is normally a $12 app makes it worth checking out!
Hey Adam - Thanks for the reminder about the price which is a great motivator (as you mentioned). I added that into the original post.
You might want to also mention what the app actually is, save people a click if they're not interested.

Thanks Jett, and you are right. I only had in there that it was mobile printing. Copied your post into my OP.
