I have a HTC Touch HD running Windows Mobile 6.1.
Also using Blackberry Connect to provide wireless synchronisation to email, contacts and appointments via my corporate BES.
Have the SoftMaker Office 2008 for Pocket PC to allow me to work on word, Excel and Powerpoint files on my mobile device.
The SoftMaker Office 2008 programs (Testmaker, Planmaker and Presentations) are all associated with the appropriate file file types.
For example if I click an an excel file the file is opened for editing by Planmaker, not pocket excel.
The Problem.
I receive office type documents as attachments in my windows mobile device email. However when I open the attachements from within the eMail the default pocket word/office applications are used to show me the attachment instead of the Softmaker applications.
I work in EH&S and the majority of attachents I receive are Incident Notification Forms which are a large multi tabed excel sheet. Because they are large and they take a long time and considerable space to fully download.
I am happy to be able to see the initial part of the attachment (with option to download more) but I would like to see this in Planmaker as pocket excel screws the formating so badly I cannot read the summary information (displayed on the initial tab on the spreadsheet) which I need to read to determine if I should download the entire file to my mobile device for immediate action or if it can wait until I am back in the office.
Is there a way to associate an alternative application (eg Planmaker and Textmaker) other than Pocket Word/Excel to handle attachements in the windows mobile e-Mail Client?
I have asked this of the Softmaker Office Support team but they were unable to provide a solution.
Hope I have explained my issue appropraitly, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

No one with any ideas?
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!
Hi Guys,
I have been looking for some permanent space to upload ROM / Kernels / Zip files / Themes etc
After a long look for free space, i finally found a place which has an Android APP and web access to upload and share files, and it is actually FREE not a trial or anything.
For those who are interested, here is a link:
http://www.idrive.com/?uid=L8J9K6I6M1
The Android application is quite good:
IDrive Lite
IDrive Lite is an application that lets you backup all contacts on your phone to an online account and retrieve the same at the click of a button; so you always have your contacts backed up online. Use the Locate feature, to view the location of your contacts and have other contacts view your current location.
&
IDrive (Online Backup)
IDrive (Online Backup) app lets you access your IDrive account on your Android Phone.
Log in with your existing IDrive credentials to:
- View data backed up to your IDrive account
- Share files/folders with your friends and contacts
- Search for files/folders
- View backed up files such as images, documents etc on your Android Phone
I am not affiliated with this app or company in anyway. I just thought i would share it for those who are looking for some FREE internet storage space, so that the flow of apps/roms/kernels/zips/themes etc etc can flow freely and space is accessible by more people.
Cheers and Enjoy !!!

Thanks! This is the sort of thing that I don't use often but really really need when I do, so it's great to get it for free. (Obviously the watermark makes the "free" version largely unusable.)
Many people may know this already but I was surprised to find that the NST/G and Opera Mobile are totally capable of accessing the online Google Calendar "app". Some of the interface elements are a bit small, but you can always resort to a stylus as a last resort. Here's how I got there:
1. Use another mobile device browser to access the Google home page. You need to be signed in on the browser to the account for the calendar you want. Access the calendar "app" from the 3x3 square of dots on the right portion of the screen near the top.
2. From your browsers options choose "share" and then email the calendar URL to yourself (your NST/G).
3. Make sure you are signed in to the same account on the Opera Mobile browser.
4. Pick up the email on your NST/G and tap on the link. Opera Mobile opens and you eventually get to the Calendar page. It defaults to "day" view (pretty uninspiring), but you can change to "month" and any entries for the current date will be listed below the calendar display. You can also make new entries or delete entries. And, of course, you can add the page to your speed dial or make a bookmark.
Clearly this is not the same or as functional as having a Calendar app, but it does work without GApps (or with) and it does allow interaction with your calendar from the NST/G.
For a lark I tried a bunch of the other online "apps" in the same fashion. Contacts crashed out of Opera immediately, Google Drive spun and spun but never showed any contents, Books looked promising at first try but refused to actually display the contents of a book, Google News managed to sort of display headline news--best in landscape--but could not access other categories and in general performed poorly. So the Calendar behavior is exceptional and fortuitous for those who need to know what they are doing when and either don't want GApps or can't seem to get a Calendar app working reliably with GApps.
