Solution Looking for a Problem?

As much as I appreciate the concept of Softmaker's office suite for Pocket PC, my trial expired without me finding a compelling reason to buy it. It is a really well-done program, but I never really used it. I decided that if I wasn't using it for free, why pay $69.95 to buy it? So, it's gone.

Office Mobile is a very feature limited product. Complicated document formats are not only not supported but apparently stripped out of documents during the round trip between Pocket PC and desktop PC. This can be a big problem. Softmaker's suite handles many more formatting features and has the look and feel of a desktop application. No feature larceny during the round trip, either. If you need this capability on your Pocket PC or HTC Advantage, then check out the free trial of this program. For now, I think the limited feature set of Office Mobile is all I need.
