Cannot save Excel Files - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi all,
When I try to save a changed excel file (that was created on my PC), I get the message that an error occured...(It's in dutch so I won't try to translate)
I CAN save it with another name or in another folder but I cannot save it "over" the old one.
Even after letting my Wizard convert it, I still cannot save it normaly when I change something in it..
Only If the Excel file is created on my ppc it works as it should.
I also tried saving the excel file to an older format (Excel 5.0 / 95 e.g.) But my Wizard can't even open these. (I am useing Excel 2002 / Office XP version)
This is a real pain, since even a small change in my sheet means that I have to rename the file and then delete the old one to prevent cluttering
Has anyone got any ideas that I havenot tried before?
thx,
Pfeffa-rah

unable to open pocket word files they are NOT .doc extension

I copied some files from my QTEK S110 onto a friends laptop and they copied accross OK although they did not have a .doc file exension (it was something else) and then when I tried to open them from the new location I could not even after associating that file extension with WORD.
Whats going on?
Also does anyone know how I can se the file extensions of all files and unhide hidden files in file explorer on my pocket pc.
thx
the file extension for pocket word is *.psw to use them on word on pc i think it has to be converted. In pocket word you can click on tools then Save Document As.. do that and under the drop down list of file type you can save it as .doc .rtf .psw .txt and another file type.
about the hidden files if you tap the screen and hold it in the explorer and a menu will come up and theres a selection there for view all files, it unhides some files but not all files. I use Profiexplorer which comes with profimail which is a indepth explorer. it shows all files aswell as file extensions and you can change file extensions and so on
Simply set the active sync option to convert the Pocket Word <-> Word files on transfer. I though this was on by default.
Of course if you don't copy via AS (e.g. via the SD card), it won't convert.

Thanks

"Of course if you don't copy via AS (e.g. via the SD card), it won't convert."
Sorry I didnt understand the sentence above. What does AS stand for? AND Did you mean that if I have copied my *.psw file onto my main memory (Permanent Save) that "Simply set the active sync option to convert the Pocket Word <-> Word files on transfer" wont work
I havent tried Active Sync yet.
AS = Active Sync
This converts the format for you when copying from one to the other.

If you haven't tried ActiveSync (AS) then you must be transferring the files via the SD card or perhaps BT or IR? This won't convert them - ActiveSync can convert the files on the fly as you transfer them between device and PC.
@ thebrit
Thanks
@ mtbsoft
Thanks yes I am using BT though I do not have an SD card they are saved into my RAM - The S110 has 128MB instead of the usual 64. Thanks for your help

'My Documents' on SD-Card

Hi there,
Since I would like my SD-Card to act as 'My Documents', I've done the reg hack and set the value for key "SDMemory" to "My Documents", renamed the original "\My Documents" folder on root, and soft-reset my device. Fine. But it's not working properly:
1. Whenever I try to sync notes via ActiveSync, it goes wrong and reports problems, that the files cannot be written properly.
2. Opening Word gives me a MsgBox telling me: "Could not create the voice link recording directory." / "Das Verzeichnis für Voice Link konnte nicht erstellt werden." (german device).
The same thing happens when I click on "New" in the notes application (related to point 1).
Has anyone done the trick? I hope so, it's very confusing...
open word, excel, notes. close the startup app so you have the folder view. goto options, and relocate the default save folder to your storage card.
Sorry, but this does not solve this problem :-(
Any other ideas?
It seems there doesn't exist a solution for this problem, I consulted many forums and web pages the last time, but noone has a tweak for this problem!?

undo the hack tweak you made. mine perfectly trfrs word, excel, notes to sd card. the only ones I really need to change are those via email, or file explorer trfrs.
You're right with Word, Excel & Notes. But this doesn't solve the general problem. My intention is to save everything in the "faked" MyDocs folder without doing settings in the specialized apps. You know there are proggies out there you can't tell them where to save their stuff. Moreover your method is unconvenient, because some apps like Word remember their save-to folder not from a REG_SZ value (like Excel), but from a part of a BINARY value (which is long and the folder setting is hidden).
When I set up my device, I make a hard-reset and soft-reset to prevent the ExtROM from installing the provider-apps. After this is done I insert my SD-Card which installs all my basic registry settings and file system settings via CAB/MortScript/AutoRun and batch files. So everything is fine after a new soft-reset except of this problem. I don't really want to set up something manually (hey, this is a computer!).
I really want to have this hack to run smoothly... Any ideas?
Where are all the experts on this forum? It can't be true that this is impossible!?

Force Pocket Outlook to reload pim.vol

Hi everyone,
I'm kind of manipulating the pim.vol file, and when I copy one over the original, and the try to modifie it (using the any api), I can see that the file used by pocket outlook is not the one I just copied.
One easy solution is to soft reset the pocket pc, and then pocket outlook read the new pim.vol, but this is kind of boring.
So my question is : does any one know how to tell to pocket outlook to reload its pim.vol file with having to soft-reset.
P.S : I've already tried to kill the poutlook process, but then everything is going so unstable that I don't think this is the way.
Thanks for your help guys.
Ed
You say you're "kind of manipulating the pim.vol file".
Does that mean you have a description of the file format at hand ?
I'm looking for it.
regards,
inetd.
I have the backup of PIM.VOL from AKU2.x and AKU3.x of my contacts before upgrade but Aku2.x PIM.VOL files are totally useless in Aku3.x. So better use outlook to backup, that is the safest.
They are of very different if you view the files in hex mode.
Those from AKU2.x seems to place the phone number before name and AKU3.x seems to place the name before the phone number.

Problem Opening a Document file

I have just noticed that when i am trying to open a small (in size) doc file in my htc , the file just open normally. When i try this again for a file (approximately 600kb) an error message is poped up saying that i cannot be opened. Any solution???
P.S. i have already check in my templates for the doc template and it exists
Ok sorry i found the solution. I sould have first save them as an 1997-2003 format. But i am wondering doesn't this device supports 2007 formats????
May be Office 2010 will do the trick, look for it and try it on your phone.

[TUTORIAL]How to Copy PDF/Office Files to your WP7 Phone Directly from Computer

hi folks, i finally got a way to copy office / PDF files directly from computer, these files will show up in Office Hub/ Adobe Reader's Document List
before you start, make sure you get TouchXplorer work on your phone.
1. you need to do some registry hacks to make the wp7 device visible in My Computer/ Explorer , here you can see the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915664.
OR: Modify these Registry Entries
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00\6&210a541a&0&0000\Device Parameters]
"EnableLegacySupport"=dword:00000001
"PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell"=dword:00000000
"ShowInShell"=dword:00000001
Once you're done , CLOSE ZUNE, you should see 2 wp7 devices in your computer, they're exactly the same. just choose one open it and you'll see folders like Album Video Music etc, these are your zune folders.
[TIP], if you open your device/storage and see nothing there, you have to delete one registry key and reconnect your phone.
the registry key is :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00\6&210a541a&0&0000\
Device Parameters\DeviceSelectiveSuspended]
delete that key , and you'll see those Zune folders.
2. now we can copy files to the Phone and make them show up in Office Hub or Acrobat Reader.
first, pick one of the Zune Folders, never create one 'cause you'll never see it from the Phone. just use the existing folders , i recommend "Video" folder.
copy a file to the Video folder, eg. officetest.docx,
open your touchXplorer, goto "My Documents"\"Zune"\"Content"
you'll see folders like 0100 0200 0300 0400 0600, these are the music / pictures / video folders of zune, and all files inside are named using numbers.
now open "0400"(in my case, might be different on other phones, you have to find it yourself) and you'll see a folder named "02", open this "02" folder, what do you see?? yes,a "20.z"(the number varies) file, this is exactly the officetest.docx you just copied to phone.
rename the "20.z" files back to "officetest.docx" using TouchXplorer , double click the file ,it will open in office .
you can cut it, and paste to \My Documents of your phone, open Office Hub, you just have the "officetest.docx" there
even you renamed the "20.z" file and moved it to \My Document. you can still see the "officetest.docx" in the "Video" folder on your computer, you should delete the "officetest.docx" to save some space, it's safe, actually, when you rename the "20.z" file to "officetest.docx", the phone did a copy job , not just rename.
EASY Enough ???
3. well, you can do the same with .PDF files if you installed the Adobe Reader.
once you renamed this "xx.z" (xx is a number) back to eg. "mypdffile.pdf" using TouchXplorer, you may try to double tap the pdf file and open it. but to PDF files , it's NOT working, the adobe reader will say "invalid path"
I know exactly what's going on, office files are opened by office apps like word etc. they're WP7 Stock programs from M$ and got very high privileges, they can access any folders. but to poor Adobe Reader, it can only access its isolated storage.
so what we need to do is: find adobe reader's isolated storage folder and move the "mypdffile.pdf" there, you can then double tap the file and open it. and when you open Adobe Reader , you'll see the "mypdffile.pdf" right under the "Documents" list.
the Adobe Reader's IsolatedStorage folder is at
Code:
\Applications\Data\BC4F319A-9A9A-DF11A490-00237DE2..\Data\IsolatedStore
just put the pdf files here
-------------------------------------------
PS:
1. I'm chinese and my english sucks, sorry if you can't understand
2. the office program on WP7 and Adobe Reader 9.0 for WP7 really sucks
Nice Tutorial
Will check it out later.
Agree with you on 1 thing, Adobe of Windows Phone 7 sucks.
Office on the other hand is great.
please can you explain exactly what registry you must delete to see the folders thanks.....

I think it's easier to email yourself with your needed documents, and then downloading it with the phone from the email.

to me , i have some huge documents , over 50MB each, i have to copy them this way 'cause no email service can attach such big file.
18MB
I sent myself an 18MB PDF file earlier today. Checked my email on my Windows Phone 7 Device. Clicked the file once (waited for it download). Then clicked the file again to open. Adobe Reader was blank for about 15 seconds then loaded it.
I used Windows Live Mail
Nice one, I will have a look to see if I can place mobi and prc files that are for e-book reading using amazon kindle in its own isolated storage area as well.
I am 99% confident that this will work just need to keep track of the new files and should only be needing a chang to .mobi or .prc for it show up in the kindle app (that is if you have tagged your books correctly)

yes , this would work, just find your kindle program's isolated storage folder.
i suggest look into your \application\install folder to locate the kindle program, there're a lot of GUID Named folders. open one by one until you find the kindle program, remember this GUID, and find the same GUID folder under \application\data you'll reach kindle's isolated storage
heeeelp

Oh no what have you done?
What ROM are you using?
If it is XBmod/yukixda back to the future ROM, which came out 28 AUG why are you using instructions dated January?
I don't know what those registry hacks do.
If you know exactly what you did, tell us Exactly.
If not I think you will have to re-flash the ROM.
Good luck.
Still nothing is coming up in the folder. What do I do? and there is no folder in there starting with 6 they start with 7?
you can copy the files by using the sd reader,and then open it through the file manager...
