All my old .docx files are barely seeable. When I open them the font is tiny an only a few lines are shown.
Is there some kind of converting that I need to do to change them from winmo to Android word document format?
Forgot to change my sig to show that I have an Evo now.

Hi all!
Just wondering why Mobile Office in my Wizard (WM 5.0 from Orange) is unusefull crap and cannot load ab 5mb .doc file (with gifs)???
I know that it happens on other devices too - is there/or would be any fix for that?
Would appreciate help because working with big .doc files (EU projects implementation guidebooks) - and cannot correct even one letter in this big files from my PPC.
Before you look to solve this problem, ensure that your pda is able to cope with the document.
Opening, then saving a word document will remove some of the formatting we take for granted.
If you read the following and decide it's ok, then proceed but not until after, otherwise you could loose valuable work
The following is taken from my user guide:
Unsupported features in Word Mobile Word Mobile does not fully support some features of Microsoft Word such as revision marks and password protection. Some data and formatting may be lost when you save the document on your device.
The following features are not supported in Word Mobile.
• Backgrounds
• Shapes and text boxes
• Artistic page borders
• Smart tags
• Metafiles
• Bi-directional text. (While Word Mobile will open documents containing bi-directional text, the indentations and alignment may be displayed and saved incorrectly.)
• Password-protected files. Word Mobile does not support opening password-protected documents. You must first remove
the password protection in Word on the PC if you want to view the document on the device.
• Document protection.Word Mobile does not support displaying files that have been protected in Word on the PC.
The following features are partially supported in Word Mobile.
• Picture bullets
• Revision marks
• Table styles
• Underline styles. Underline styles not supported by Word Mobile are mapped to one of the four supported styles: regular, dotted, wavy, or thick/bold/wide.
• Legacy Pocket Word files. You can open *.psw files in Word Mobile; however, if you edit a file, you will need to save it in
*.doc, *.rtf, *.txt, or *.dot format.
The following features are not supported on the device; however, they are retained in the file so that when a file is opened on the PC again,they appear as expected.
• Footnotes, endnotes, headers, footers
• Page breaks
• Lists
• Fonts and font sizes. Fonts not supported by the device are mapped to the closest font available, although the original font will be listed on the device.

yeah, I read manual too - I can handle that Mobile Word is not the same as Word 2003 and sophisticated .doc's cannot be compatible - but Word Mobile can't even open large core text doc's - I checked this out
I think I will bother MS Help Desk with that - will let know abut the results.
Hi guys,
I think I might endup setting a new thread on this one but since I found this during search I will add a coment here since its related...
Tbh I am starting to feel that this wm5 is more a downgrade to the previous version!
On my sd card I have some word documents that I transferd from the pc some are about 3k and others about 5k..... all of them opened (and still do) fine on my ipaq with wm2003se... when I try to open the same docs on my exec wm5 some of them Word gives an error that found something wrong with the document and just refuses to open it!!!
I find this to be very frustrating and a major flaw....
Has anyone experienced something like this or know of any cure to the problem?...
BR
yah, am still fighting with Word Mobile - I cannot open even small .doc's with some .gif's - MS SUCKS!
Somebody know any kind of upgrade from that scum!
Someone was asking for a tweak for excel a while back - not sure if here or another forum.
Like me most of you have probably increased the default screen font size for better readability. When you use excel after the boxes and fonts are too big and you have to always zoom down to 75%. Could not find a fix to set default zoom to 75% so made a new template - normal.xlt.
Put it in the my documents/templates/ folder and change default template in excel options to this on and voila all is good when you start a new document. If you want to sort old documents out just change cell size when all selected.
Hope this helps
Just read that in WM2003 this was not a problem - the file saved at the zoom setting you set it, and apparently WM5 has a bug so does not do this - anyone with a later ROM can they report if this is fixed. ta
Updated template - cell size is same as the default one - but if you use opens up as if 75% zoom.
...it doesn't work on my XDA Neo

Can you describe what you did and I will see if I can help. Also useful to know if you have any xlt files in your my documents\templates folder.
There where no .xlt files in templates (my Documents\vorlagen) i tried to copy the files by pc and to unpack them on ppc; I also tried saving my own .xlt after resizing it to 75% zoom...

Did you change template in excel\options\template for new workbook?
Yes I did!
The Standard is 'leere Arbeitsmappe' I changed it to normal.xlt
By unpacking the .xlt one gets overwritten by the other, so I zipped the file >0 byte
What happens if you change template to vehicle mileage log - prob auto.... for yourself. That template has zoom fix already.
...there's no difference at all!
Have you tried both the templates posted - 1st one is with a different cell size and second saving with 75% zoom. When you are using these templates the cell size will shrink on the screen and when you check under view\zoom it will say 100% even when it is less.
If the zoom change does not work then possible cell size change will.
it doesn't work too
maybe I have to live with that
It's not a bug, it's a feature :wink:
i have a 2 questions
1. how to change the template settings in the excel
2. is these templates for the new files only or will apply to the old files.
1. Open excel, goto menu\options and change template to normal
2. No does not change old files But if you set zoom to 75% and save file it will be the same
it works for new files only, but does not save the zoom for old files... thanks anyway

I tried to open the attached zip file, it seems to be corrupt. I'm getting the WinZip message: "Can't open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive."
Can anyone please check and repost the attachment? or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Hi y'all,
been tidying up my directories on the Xda mini (what a mess on the std install).
Since then I cannot open a new word document, comes back with "a problem with the document has been encountered and it cannot be opened"
I suspect I may have deleted a template file that Word uses when opening new doc's by mistake (maybe like the normal.dot in full blown word?)
Anyone know if this is the case, and if so what the file name would be?
Thanks
Paul.
You,ve probably deleted some templates in \my documents\templates on your device.
Find them all enclosed including a zoom fix for pocket excel - normal.xlt that gives excel 75% zoom if you use it as a template for your excel sheets.
next question....
Thanks Mark,
have downloaded the templates but Word is still not seeing them.
When I go "menu" - "options" the "defalt template" drop down is empty
Part of my original issue is the illogical structure of the directories on the device with what appears to be multiple instances of folders eg :\documents and setting\my documents as well as \my documents
Equally their are a number of "templates" folders around
Any suggestions on how I can alter where Word looks for the templates?
Paul.
The template that is like normal.dot is blank document.dot and if word is not seeing this you must of deleted something else. Are you sure you have placed the templates in the right place, so it should be on the device memory \my documents\templates\blank document.dot
If it is and still not working suggest you do a hard reset - but all is not lost if you don't want all the o2 extras that fill your device and slow it down once the hard reset is almost complete and the o2 stuff is just about to install do a quick soft reset and the extras wont be installed (be warned you have only 3 secs to do this)
Word Mobile templates
I cannot open this zip file which is suppose to contain template files for Word Mobile to work properly.
Attached Files
templates_434.zip (252.3 KB, 60 views)
I downloaded the zip and it opened just fine - what was the error you encountered? did you try unzip on pc and ppc.
If no joy - give me your email addy and i send them to you.
Word Mobile templates
I get an error from Winzip -- Cannot open file: It does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading it again." (I have, several times, and I tried opening the file instead of downloading it.)
Also, my issue is that WM6 Standard (smartphone) Word Mobile will not open Word files, but Excel Mobile and Power Point Mobile work fine.
I am running WM6 on a T-Mobile Dash.
The issue you discuss appears to be related to Pocket PCs, not Smartphones.
If you think they will help, please email the template files.

Hi!
Is it possible to show icons for mobile/home/work before caller id number instead of letters (m, h, w...)?
Pic explains it all:
Noone? So I guess it's not possible...
I guess they're just xxx_manila files, which are all in the windows folder. These files are a mixture of different file types, but a lot of them are images used by manila. You could copy them all to your PC, add a PNG extension to the filenames and then you could open some of them. You could find the ones in question and then simply edit them. There's also a LOT of images in the windows folder. It could be some of them.
They could be embedded resources in an exectuable, in which case you may as well forget it!
Hope this helps
I want to change the default image that my WM 6.1 HTC Touch HD uses for the incoming/outgoing calls. I know you can add pictures for contacts, but i just want to replace the image i get for any call, be it a person from my contacts or an unknown number. I guess it's possbile to replace the image in the Windows directory, but i couldn't find it. If anyone can point me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it. Thanks
i guess, if it is a standard graphic file like .jpg or .png, the easiest way to find it would be to open Pictures & Videos (not Album!), the app is still present in most roms. then navigate to the windows folder and it will show you all the pictures in the windows folder and subfolders, look it up in the previews, click it and look for the file name (probably in properties).
it takes quite a while to load, since due to sense there are a lot of files present in the windows folder, and frankly, i'm not that interested in replacing that file, so i didn't finish it.
another, maybe faster, way might be to open a file explorer like resco explorer or total commander, sort the files in the windows folder by file type, then either open up the first picture and flick through the pictures in Album (or whatever your standard picture viewer is) until you found it OR copy all pictures to the sd card and look it up on the PC in disk drive mode (this might actually be the fastest way).
Found it in Windows folder with the help of Pictures & Videos application and the .png is called Default_person. Replaced it and now i got a decent default pic for incoming calls. Thank you very much. Topic can be closed.
