Hi bennie,
sorry to say, but this is a known bug and long time problem of Windows Mobile.
When syncing Office documents (Word, Excel), those docs get converted from Office (on your PC) to Pocket Office and thereby loose different features (loosing formatting, linked text, graphics etc. in Word, complex formulas, etc. in Excel).
So sad but true, this is a "normal" behaviour in Pocket Word and Pocket Excel.
It's said that this is corrected in upcoming Windows Mobile 2005 (Magneto), but as I didn't have the chance to check this until yet, I hardly believe it... :?
HTH,

Hi!
I have a Dell Axim x50v (VGA device) running WM5 AKU 2.3, and would really want to have HTML support for email, since WM5 email client doesn't support it. I don't want to download any extra third-party application like Flexmail, but rather would like to know if there is some kind of a plugin for this native email client that allows HTML support.... I heard of WM6 and it's richer email client. Is there any way you can install WM6 email client on a windows mobile 5 device like mine? If not, is there any WM6 ROM that will work on my PDA? (Other things like viewing Internet Explorer Mobile in high resolution mode, or the new "calendar ribbon" would also be a worthy upgrade.)
.... There is a very slight chance that Dell will release an official WM6 upgrade considering how old my model is.... (it came out in 2004, being replaced by x51 models in late 2005).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
For what I have read, you are basically out of luck.
You can't rip the email client out of WM6 since it seems to be very much incorporated within the OS. If you want to enjoy the WM6 email client you have to upgrade.
As far as if there is a WM6 I am not sure and since you have reached a HTC forum, well, have you tried a Dell site?

Quoted for the truth.
Outlook (PIM) depends on Shell, Shell depends on Coredll, Coredll depends on kernel. Bummer.
Like I said, there is no chance that Dell will be releasing WM6 upgrade for its handhelds, so visiting "aximsite" wasn't very usefull for me right now.
When you guys mentioned that the WM6 email client is very much incorporated with the OS, does the same apply with the Internet Explorer Mobile that now supports high resolution, or the Microsoft "MarketPlace"?
Is there at least a third-party HTML support plugin for the native email client, or is Flexmail the only solution for viewing HTML-formatted emails? (I would really prefer a "free" third-party application.)

Try Qmail IMHO the best email program and what is more important free
http://q3.snak.org/download/ take most up to date compilation from Nightly build section and don't be afraid about japanese page Qmail is in english! At the bottom of download page you'll find openssl extension for secure connections.
I can't properly download this "Qmail" program. If I want to download and install it through activesync by first of all extracting the zip file from the nightly build and then running the exe file, it eventually says "not a valid Win32 application" or something like that. In fact, i can't stand that official japanese website, cause i get that same message for anything i try to download from there.
Actually, i got a chance to see how Qmail works (looks pretty nice - it supports HTML, right?), but not necessary to use it. Instead of running it on a PC, i copied right away that zip file to my device, and installed Total Commander on my PPC. However, I had to extract each component for Qmail separately using the Total Commander. Really a disasterous download, if not even. It ended up opening the program, but never really saving it anywhere on my device. After a quick soft reset, there is no more trace of it.
So, SERIOUSLY, does anyone have an alternate cab or exe file of the latest nightly build for Qmail v3 that actually works, not links to that japanese website?
I think you don't get the idea of inslalling it it's not self installing program! unpack it on your desktop than move whole folder with all files (all dlls and q3u.exe) to some folder on your ppc, probably the best is storage card. You can copy files that way by opening activesync and than klicking on explore button there will be your ppc just like any other folder in normal desktop pc. Copy whole qmail folder to it and thats it, you can start qmail using totalcommander on ppc or later create some shortcut to program on today or in programs.
here is packed folder "Qmail" with all needed files unpack it on your desktop and copy unpacked folder with files to your ppc using activesync explore button! Sorry but I can't write it more simply This one works on my ppc as all other versions did!

and one more thing here you can read somthing more about qmail and the power of this program! also how to set it up

Nice!!! I finally got Qmail installed on my device. Seems like it can do a lot more than just let you view HTML-formatted email. So, how well does it compete with the native WM6 email client?
Ohh, you guys never answered me about WM6 Internet Explorer. I find that IE that comes with WM5 takes very long time to open pages, or at least - fairly slow. (Doesn't work very well in the morning when you are in a rush, and don't want to wait for your PC to start up, and whenever it's ready to connect to the internet). Many WM6 reviews say that the WM6 IE is quite faster, supports AJAX, and especially more stable. (Don't know how to explain it to you, but when scrolling too fast the web pages, especially in landscape mode, at one point all the graphics and program icons become as if shattered with black, grey, green, red, ... lines -the images corrupted, that requires soft reset.) Not sure if this is an error, or if WM6 fixes it. That's why I was thinking of overwriting my current IEMobile with the Internet Explorer that comes with WM6. Or is it hard-coded, as well as WM6 email client, into the OS?
One last question. (sorry, if I'm bothering you guys too much.) Everyone knows that IEMobile of any kind does not allow multiple tabs. And i really would have preffered some kind of a plug-in, not a separate web browser, that allows it. I tried PIEPlus, but it also adds way too many features that I don't even need (i need a browser plugin that handles it as simple as possible) that only wastes more memory, and i think, slows down the IE even more. Any idea???
Ok, I know I was asking above lots of things. So, to make it easier:
1)Does anyone know how i can speed up my internet explorer mobile?,
2)And how i can fix that occasional screen error that occurs while browsing the internet that messes up my whole PDA?
So, um, can somebody help me?
Hello! Is anyone out there?
Ok I want to know if I can create or modify a word or Excel document in my excalibur?
uhm no you can't. its only for editing.
why are you confused?
yes you can someone on modaco forum post a plugin to do that...
yes u can (as long as you wm6).. here is the link to download the program that allows you to do so:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252990
you have to register on that website before you can download (its free)
omar
of course you can use blank docs from your pc or use the modaco app.
the op was asking if mobile office allowed you to create docs though when obviously it does not.
we don't even know if he has mobile office or wm6 so this could all be moot.

So, the more complete answer is:
1) If you are still running WM5, then:
a) You can buy Docs2Go, which will allow you to create and edit Word/Excel docs, or...
b) You can "port" the WM6 Office Mobile apps (Word, Excel) to WM5, then...
2) If you have the WM6 Office Mobile apps running (either on WM6 or WM5), then:
a) You can use the MoDaCo app DoNew which creates new Word/Excel docs, which you can then edit with the WM6 Office apps, or...
b) You can simply create a blank Word and Excel doc on your PC and then keep them around on your Dash, and copy each time you want a new doc, or edit and use SaveAs.
well thanks for all the repost.

When you click on the new doc, it will ask you where to save your new doc. and Word Mobile will start.In Word Mobile, you need to click on menu and choose edit, which will allows you to type in your next text.
Gah! so many steps!!! lol
thanks! i thought edit would be the copy paste settings.
when i hold the end button, some icons show up.
what are they?
thanks

If that doesn't do the trick, try Tools > Conversion Settings on ActiveSync.
You may want to make sure that your Excel files are or are not converted on their way through.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend using Pocket Word/Word Mobile or Pocket Excel/Excel Mobile at all, even for reading files, as they don't read most content from most common files - which means that their main potential usefulness was destroyed by MS before it was ever issued. And has remained so. Softmaker Office 2006 reads and writes Excel and Word files in their original form and I use it heavily.
You can get the Textmaker (Word) and Planmaker (Excel) seperately if you want to.
No I'm not promoting either, just recommending.
Hi,
Having a problem with my Excalibur T-Mobile Dash. When I run office mobile word excel or powerpoint happens nothing...only folders come. I tried to install office mobile 5 and also 6 got in this forum but the error comes like "can't open...... " etc etc. I upgraded and downgraded between Windows MObile 6 and 5. But no result. I can't use either word or excel or prpnt.
Please help
If memory serves, Office Mobile v6 only allows you to OPEN Word, Excel, or PPT files and, in my experience, not all of them successfully opened. Office Mobile 6.1 lets you CREATE new Word, Excel or PPT files as well as open them (and, once again, that open thing is spotty).
Office Mobile 6.1 came with my Kavana wm6.1 ROM.

yea to create docs you actually have to import a blank one from your pc and then on the phone modify and save that....
Hello,
because I'm tired of carrying 2.7kg 15.4" laptop, I will be using my TP2 with HW keyboard (getting better BT one, waiting it to arrive). As of now, I will be doing "Hamachi and RDP to home" way, but I got idea. Why not bring OneNote, that actually works like OneNote to our phones?
Let's start with some images:
supporting loading/saving, different notebooks and sections, font settings, drawing as you draw by hand, lines, rectangles, ... selecting colors, thickness and what not. Using latest innovations (like finger scrolling over screen, either software or hardware keyboards, portrait/landscape switching, ...) ofc.
Are you interested? Will somebody use it? Or is it not worth doing?
// I forgot to wrote, that there would be also PC ver (or could be made) that would support editing, viewing, ... on PC too
// update #2: few more screenshots:
(those arrows on the right and bottom are for adding more space on the side)
if you ask me (of course you don't) then it doesn't make sense to create a "new" OneNote.
what would make more sense is to have a better OneNote on PPC, but use the format the M$ OneNote uses and replace the PPC client.
It would make less work, because you do not have to write a PC version.
cheers!

I will check the .onex format for new 2010 onenote (better zipped new archive than old binary file), hope it will be selfexplaining so I could make it.
The default onenote mobile sucks - you can't draw anywhere or write anywhere you want (or at least I havent found it there).
We'll see what is possible and what isn't, I must take in consideration that this is phone with touchscreen and not pc with mouse.
I couldn't find any export to .onex, the new 2010 still uses .one binary-looking file?
Oh and implementing this? Forget about it, opening documents would take a lot of effort because it is.... just too much stuff. And the mobile onenote, can't find specs what it can and what can't do.
// Or I can simply stop saying "real mobile OneNote" and just say notebook application and problem solved too LOL. Porting to desktop windows is a matter of hour or two, because most of the code is shared. Even now I can run the app from phone and run it directly on PC, without recompiling or so, all I need is to have installed .NET CF GAC on PC (which I do).
