WM6 Office - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Dear all,
Does it possible to clone the WM6 Office into WM5? Anyone can make it and share?
Thanks

Why?
Couldn't find one new feature missing from WM 5.

ummm...you can always create a new folder named Office Mobile ...if that makes you any happier ...or just flash your device with a wm6 rom

The only noticeable feature in Word is the loading progress bar when opening and saving. There may be others but that's all I've seen.

How about the Exchange 2007 support, HTML email, flagging etc...

The WM5 pocket outlook can't read the mail with html format. If someone can extract the mobile office from WM6 (Crossbow) and make a CAB file for install to WM5 will be good.

WM6 Email Client on WM5

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?

How to create/edit a Word & Excel document.

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.
I'm running Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone GSM w/Outlook 2002

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

WM5 ROM with WM6 IE and Outlook?

How straightforward would this be? I'm told that some WM5 devices (such as Athena) have the same version of IE as found in WM6. Would an Athena IE cab just work? Or the IE cab from WM6? I guess Outlook is a bigger problem.
If you can use PIE, Office Mobile, and Pocket Outlook used on WM6 on WM5. I wouldn't use WM6 anymore. Is this possible?

official wm6 includes office 2007?

I dont see any reference to it in the pdf that describes it.
anyone know?
/f
Please read the Wiki. Official WM6 ROM release doesn't come with Office2007. There maybe hope in the Europe WWE release, but doubtful.
Microsoft is planning to offically release Office2007 this fall sometime as a free upgrade to WM6 users, so I've read. If this has changed, then correct me.
Sounds reasonable - they have to use the Windows Update Util for something after all
Smiffy.
thank you
sorry, I should have tried to read the wiki first

I am on Dopod latest WM6 rom and I amable to open docx files no problem?? does it mean that it is 2007 ??
does it mean that it is 2007 ??

If you open docx and xlsx, the answer is Yes. Probably you ROm was filled with the Office Mobile 2007 appz.
Well it is standard Official DOPOD WM 6 ROM. The only thing I have installed is OneNote Mobile... From One Note App on my Lappy.
Many cooked ROMs come with Office2007. Satin does (minus OneNote, which can be installed separately).
I'm pretty impressed with O2K7. PowerPoint is particularly good. It renders presentations very well indeed, including transitions.

Go get it

I think the wiki needs to be updated then. The dopod rom (and my flavor of it) have Office 2007 apps.
Lordsmiff!
Thanx...
Have you got any comments on the ROM ?? maybe some screenshots ?? vbmenu_register("postmenu_1409703", true);
I don't know if I'm gonna flash it yet - been a serial flasher but I'm happy at the mo with black satin
I'll probably give it a run tomorrow
Smiffy.
Here is the CAB I used for my Onenote...
I was under the impression that no released version of Office 2007 Mobile has the ability to open .%%%x documents yet, and that this would be available as a downloadable update in the fall.. I read that on Jason Landridge's blog.
The version of Office 2007 Mobile that comes in the Treo 750 WM6 ROM definitely cannot open .docx, xlsx, etc.
My DOPOD ROM I looked in the WORD Mobile Settings and I see that the default template is set to .docx so I guess it does open *.%%%X files, plus I have tryed to open docx and xlsx files and no problem
Official HTC wm6 also includes Office 2007, minus outlook :-(
So you get: Powerpoint, Word and Excel.
Outlook is the old one and OneNote can be installed from pc if you have Onenote on it.
one note mobile cab in english
does any1 have the onenote mobile cab in english?

http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/2271/leaked-details-and-screenshots-of-windows-mobile-7.html
yes i know about wm 7. thanks but i´m interested in wm 6.1 because tom is going to release new rom as i heard and i wanted to see some pics of wm 6.1
have a look...
http://www.areamobile.de/news/8337.html german site
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2007/12/03/windows-mobile-61-standard-in-100-pictures/ english site
I am confused as to why the WM 6.1 ROMs people have been providing on this site are so different in look to the WM 6.1 screenshots and features shown above.
Where is the new look in our ROMs?
Where is threaded SMS?
Where are the other features?
There is no big improvements in WM6.1 Threaded SMS is disabled by cookers because it is rather annoying and has many setbacks. Lets wait for WM7
Regards,
Carty..
Can anyone list what the actual differences are in 6.1?

The "new" look is a today screen on a NON-TOUCH SCREEN windows mobile device.
New things:
Faster file access.
Threaded SMS.
New Task Manager
And just a bunch of fixes here and there.

A big different to 6.0 is that you can do a Domain Enrollment. This is very interesting for big Companys who want to manage there Devices by Servercontrol. Because of that Microsoft developed a product with the name: System Center Mobile Device Manager (SCMDM) wich is released since 1st April. All devices in a company are managed by this environment.
