Documents To Go Native File Support

Native Document Support

Documents To Go is built with handheld-based native document support for Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, BMP and text files. "Native" indicates that the file is in its original desktop format, specifically Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe PDF, JPEG, BMP or TXT. Before native document support, the desktop application converted these files to a handheld format that Documents To Go could open. Then the files were synchronized to the handheld. With native document support, you can use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, BMP and TXT files no matter how they are delivered.

Why is Native Support Beneficial?
Below are some of the benefits to native document support:

Open and work with documents whether you are in a meeting or out in the field. With native document support you will be able to open files sent to your handheld via e-mail, on an expansion card, or via Bluetooth. Documents To Go can open Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, BMP and TXT files right on the handheld, without any desktop conversion or synchronization needed.

Easily share files in a “mixed” environment. For example, you can use your Secure Digital (SD) card as a modern day “floppy disk” to exchange files between a Palm handheld and a PocketPC simply by swapping SD cards loaded with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF JPEG, BMP and TXT files. You can even use the same SD card to upload handheld files to any computer with an SD slot or card reader. There is no need to have Documents To Go installed on that desktop computer.

Use Documents To Go along with popular wireless e-mail applications such as RoadSync, Inbox To Go Wireless, VersaMail and SnapperMail™ to send and receive real Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, BMP and TXT files as e-mail attachments. Documents To Go can automatically open your attachments on the handheld itself so you can view or edit documents you receive.

How do I get Native Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, BMP and TXT files on my Handheld?
There are a number of ways to do this:

Drag and drop native files into the Handheld or Expansion Card destination window on the Documents To Go desktop application and synchronize.
Beam native files via infrared from laptops or PocketPCs to your device.
Send native files via Bluetooth from laptops or PocketPCs to your device.
Receive native files through email applications such as RoadSync, Inbox To Go Wireless, VersaMail and SnapperMail™.
Receive native files directly from Expansion Cards (e.g., Secure Digital or Memory Sticks)
