I have tried searching the formus but could not find the answer.
What i want to do is have create a number of text (word ) documents.
And then be able to search for a certain page.
The same as looking at the contents page in a book and being able to select the relavant document.
I suppose like making a e-book with a contents page that you can tap a page and go straight to the selected page.
Any answers.
Many thanks,,,,
Not too sure how you want to go about this, do you want to create and edit and search on your pda? or create/edit on a pc then download and search using your pda?
If its the last option, there are many many many ways -- a few might be, create a master word doc and link to several 'sub' docs each one is an individual file, excel files can have text boxes inserted, say one per worksheet tab and it has data search facilities built in. FrontPage or NVU would allow simple html docs (web pages) to be created and linked via an index page and useable via PIE.
The list goes on...
A few specifics might help pin it down.

I would sometimes prefer to save web pages and also to read web pages which have been saved locally. But neither on Opera nor on Internet Explorer (for Universal) have I found these options.
In Windows for desktop, the problem might have been solved by copying the text to Word and then save it. But in my experience, this is not possible in Windows Mobile 5. It allows me to copy a text in one Word document, then close the document and open another where I paste it. But I have not been able to copy text from one application to another.
Any comments?
I would like to use Excel Mobile in my Diamond to retrieve data found on web pages - this is something I can do easily on my desktop pc, but not on Excel Mobile. Is there a workaround - ie can I save a web page as an html file that can be then read by ExcMob? Or maybe even a different spreadsheet that allows web access/data retrieval?
If neither, is this something that would interest anyone on this forum to take a look at?
Thanks

Not sure if this is what you want but its much better than excel mobile (not freeware)....

Excel mobile
Thanks Omareo for the suggestion. It looks good but the site has no information on the specific feature I am looking for. Have you used it? If so, can you retrieve web data (from Yahoo for instance) on to the spreadsheet via a query?
Im really not sure about that, but you can download a trial

How can u lower setting so that it let's photos download without manually download e-mail photos?
go into your inbox, menu, tools, options, select the account, download size settings, then select download entire message.
edit: sorry. jumped the gun there. There's no way to do that through the settings...there might be a tweak or hack for that though. Not a big issue for me so I haven't looked around for it.
there is some stuff in THIS thread, regarding creating some reg keys, which seems to work for some types of embedded images. Not tried it myself, tucked it away for later testing.
But out of the box, its a security 'feature' (one of those wonderful microsoft features that comes with ' ' ) of mobile outlook.
Seems like a simple thing, but I can't find a good solution.
I have some gdocs spreadsheets that I want to download (as xls or ods) and then edit via thinkfree. Yes I know you can do gdocs spreadsheets online via browser on my sgt. However, the gdocs spreadsheet mobile is not to my liking.
There are several Market apps that do downloading or synching of gdocs to/from android. A couple I have tried are 'my docs' and 'gdocs' but these don't support spreadsheets or I couldnt figure out how to make them do spreadsheets; they worked ok for text docs.
The online spreadsheat, on a desktop, does have a good save as feature. However, google is too smart and won't let me use the desktop experience from my sgt, even when I ask (nicely).
And, I prefer a low or no cost solution. I do see that Documents To Go suggests that you can do this; that isn't low/no cost.
Any other options?
Oh I tried think free online, too. Despite having some sort of 'login with google account' feature; I didnt see how it provides links or other techniques for getting at my gdocs. Maybe I am doing it wrong. Oh and I'd like to avoid signing up for another online service too. Besides I do shared authoring of some gdocs; no way could I get others to switch to a new online docs service.

Found a solution. Reading closely the 'not suppurted browser' page, you can add an override flag (to the submitted url) that instructs the full google docs web experience to skip th browser check. By doing this, I can get the docs browser page of google docs that has a control that allows me to download my spreadsheets.
The url is like:
https://docs.google.com/DocAction?browserok=true#home
You need to add an app like 'Download all Files' so that the stock browser will save the file.
Hope this helps someone else!
use full desktop mode in your browser,
downlaod FIREFOX, and use it to download /open with think free
firefox is the only android broswer that lets me properly download/OPEN WITH by clicking on a link and I can select which app.

I think office suite pro will perfectly fit your need. After 30days of trial you can remove and re_install the app. Have Fun!
I am in dire need of a way to copy text from an open office document or a pdf file into a web page. Any suggestions?
There is an app called "copy paste it". It took me a while to find it in the market. There is a trial version available to test it & make sure it works on your phone. Otherwise it $6.00. It basically takes a screenshot of the page and allows you to copy & paste from any application/page including email and pdf's, etc.
