best office app - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General
Hi i bought my wife a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 2014 edition
ive been using it and really lke it
was thinking of getting one me self to replace my laptop as i work offshore and it would be easyer to take away with me for a month at a time
i like the expandable sd card slot so would be able to save all my films etc to it to watch when am away
the thing thats put me off is office apps
while am away i have to send off my timesheets etc
on my timesheet i have a windows word timesheet with a excel spreed sheet on the inbedded in the word document
on my wifes tab i am yet to find a office program that will let me edit my spreadsheet thats embeeded in word
what offices do you,s all use , and what is the best
I use Documents To Go due to its Bluetooth keyboard integration. The spreadsheet is used about 15 or so hours a week with a Bluetooth keyboard. If keyboard integration is not a consideration, Office Suite or the free ones are OK. If you are looking at moderate to heavy usage (me) then consider a Bluetooth keyboard case (I have a Poetic combination). Before settling on an application, consider your usage of a Bluetooth keyboard followed by compatibility.

Documents To Go's Bluetooth implementation is superior to the rest, though it lacks in the bells and whistle department. It works and is stable.

Try Polaris Office 5 for tablet first because it is free (Samsung apps).
Then you can try Office Suite.

i like office suite the best, but its too expensive for what it is. Kingsoft is a close second for me and it's free. Quickoffice is ok. Polaris is horrible, mostly because it sucks at rendering pptxs from powerpoint. Couldn't comment on the word processor aspect.
I have used all of the above. I like Office Suite the best and I got it for free during one of Amazon's free app of the day. I have seen it there at least twice for free, but if you have to have a good suite try Office Suite 7. King Office is good, but to me, kind of cumbersome to use. Just my opinion...
Kingsoft worked best for Excel

I have used all of the above as well, specifically OfficeSuite, QuickOffice, Kingsoft Office, Documents to Go, and Polaris. OfficeSuite used to be my favorite until I started having problems editing an Excel worksheet. The formulas were broken and necessary. I started testing all of the office apps with that specific excel (including a few other free office apps that I don't remember) and Kingsoft was the only one that could handle it well. I now only use Kingsoft office and haven't noticed any loss of functionality. It should be noted that I primarily use it for Excel so I can't comment on how it works with PowerPoint or Word. I have viewed PPT files using Kingsoft and that worked well, but did not edit them.
Edited to add documents to go to list of office apps tested.

No. I have a bluetooth keyboard, but I never use it. I almost always have a laptop as well, so ifI need to lo lots of text entry I use that instead. Kingsoft office is free so you could dolwnload it and try it.
I have installed it several times and due to its Bluetooth keyboard support, uninstall it. Thanks though.

Powerpoint mobile
Hi, I searched the forum for an answer but couldnt find it, so Im sorry if this is a double post. Right, Im pretty dissapointed with powerpoint mobile as it is not able to edit or create powerpoints. Even my old N95 could do that, so I defenatly expected the xperia as its a windows phone to be able to do that. So is there any other 3rd party program that is able to edit powerpoints? Cheers
Yes. Look at www.softmaker.com. They make an office suite that runs on WM devices (as well as Linux and Windows) that imports and exports Microsoft Office files, including Powerpoint, very well. I've only played around briefly with their Powerpoint replacement (and only on Windows, not WM), but I've used their word processor on my PDAs and phones for years and been very satisfied. Highly recommended.
wow looks great. Will try it and report how well it works on the xperia. Cheers
Works great. Thx
you would think that the standard office mobile would have features like this. looks like a nice program though.
Office Bug!
Pity, today I found an Office bug. So normally "au" button for native letters works fine, however why the hell two of my native letters are missing while the rest of them is there... Anyway, I have few docs with Tablets inside - and sh**t, this "au" button stops working inside of some of the tablets parts!! I have to get SoftMaker I think... Did you use it? Looks like a really profi app.
Softmaker office is a very good office suite, it will do anything a desktop office suite would. The only problem with the app is that it is slower than office mobile to load a document of the same size and it often crashes, this is because it does not strip the document of any function, format, etc, therefore requires alot more ram/cpu usage
[Q] MS Office files view and edit?
what is the best application?
Im using Documents To Go, does the job without hickups.
Didn't you get ThinkFree Office on the tab? I use that and it works great.
I have DocumentsToGo on my HTC Desire, and ThinkFree on the Tab (preinstalled of course). I've not played much in anger with ThinkFree, but my currently feeling is that it is better than DocumentsToGo. All that being said, I should add that my primary use for both is reading email attachment, and not really creating/editing much. Regards, Dave
I thought ThinkFree would be useless bloatware, but its not, its pretty damn good actually. Fastest pdf renderer on android by a long mile (i've tried them all)
Best PDF reader
Just throwing out a line to get some ideas on the best PDF viewer, possibly with annotation (although not required). I'm looking for something fast and smooth that can navigate larger documents, etc.
I like the polaris office one, at least better than adobe reader, which seems sluggish.
+1 for Polaris Office. Not perfect, but faster than the Adobe Reader app.
Hmm, I might have to try to find a copy of Polaris, it has disappeared from my app list in the midst of various ROM changes.
Repligo PDFReader I use it to have clients sign contracts right on the screen. But has so many functions.. Check out the Video https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cerience.reader.app&feature=search_result It is $4.99 but well worth it.
+1 Polaris Office
Repligo +1 for me. And for read the include Acer Lumiread.
At some of android news website I saw a test of pdf readers and the winner was ezPDF reader. Maybe you'll like it (sorry for my english) Wysłano z Acer A500

Did you ever try ezPDF? I've been using Repligo for about a month and I love it! It was definitely worth the $4.99 (actually, when I bought it, it was $1.99 @ the Amazon Appstore).
I looked forever for the perfect android PDF app for reading books and ezPDF won hands down. Amazing control, bookmaking, and text rendering. I couldn't believe how many of the apps weren't up to par.
Sorry to drudge up a moderately old post, but I have a question about ezPDF. Can you rotate documents? I scan a lot of stuff into PDF, and sometimes I need to rotate the pages on the fly? Also, does it support adding notes (written with stylus) and bookmarks? I've seen other posts and some say that it has this feature, others complain it doesn't. Thanks, -PW

And it does support adding notes, annotations. Just tap and hold screen and chose "free hand". It will ask u if u want to make a copy for annotating which is great so u dont mark up the only copy u have. It will create another copy if u like to mark up. Once u chose, then write as much as u want. Good program.
i'm working with lots of PDFs - non-editable, editable, with markups, making markups - and right now the best reader and marker for PDF for me is RepliGo. The PDF Viewer from Picsel Smart Office is as well very good and very fast but without marking capabilities. Picsel Smart Office has as well the best excel, word and powerpoint readers/editors.
[Q] XLS editor
Hello, recently I downloaded some office applications almost exclusively to view and edit Excel files. It happens that most of them proved slow to edit the files, detail for the size of my files, ranging from 20 to 100 KB each. The applications that I downloaded and tested: Kingsoft Office Documents to Go Quickoffice Pro Olive Office Office Suite Google DOCS The "best" Kingsoft and DOCS were, however, slow. Am I doing something wrong? It is normal for office suites run with such slowness? Ah, im using the GTAB 10.1 3G
try this did you tried polaris office ? good luck
