 Users of Office 2007 can now rejoice for Microsoft have (officially) released an upgrade to make O2k7 files compatible with Office Mobile 6  QUOTE Microsoft Office 2007 introduced new Open XML-based file formats for Office applications. These new file formats reduce file size, improve security and reliability, and enhance integration with external sources. To allow Windows Mobile users to work with Office documents created in the Open XML formats, Microsoft has developed an upgrade for Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile applications. This upgrade to the Office Mobile applications allows viewing and editing of Word documents and Excel workbooks and viewing of PowerPoint slideshows created by using Microsoft Office 2007. Other improvements include: • Enhanced viewing experience for charts in Excel Mobile. • Ability to view SmartArt in PowerPoint Mobile. • Ability to view and extract files from compressed (.zip) folders. Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1 Full Version to support Microsoft 2007 file formats If your Windows Mobile device does not have a version of Microsoft Office Mobile prior to 6.1, you can purchase the full version of Microsoft Office Mobile. The Office Mobile application suite includes Microsoft Office Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint® Mobile for Windows Mobile 6 powered devices, helping users manage and review documents. Microsoft Office Mobile includes support for rich reviewing and minor editing capabilities as well as support for rights-managed documents. The primary user scenario enabled by Office Mobile is viewing e-mail attachments, performing minor edits, sharing document versions, and opening documents from an SD card or a SharePoint server. Office Mobile provides a high-fidelity document viewing experience, with capability to edit as well as fast performance in loading the first page of the document. Note: This free upgrade works only for Windows Mobile powered devices that have an earlier version of Office Mobile. If your Windows Mobile powered device does not have Office Mobile applications, this upgrade will not work for you. You can purchase the full version of Office Mobile 6.1 online. For more information, click here -http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mic...bileoffice.mspx. You can grab the upgrade HERE. -------------------- |

Obviously you havent been able to give it a full "road test" as of yet, but thus far what do you think of it?

The filename ends in "US", so I bet it will only install if the device settings are on US. Shame they seem to have forgotten the rest of the English speaking world. |

Well this sucks.
Guys, please can you post the actual error messages and your device config (type and language setting) so I can pursue this with the product team. Thanks! Paul |

Error is
QUOTE Installation cannot continue. The language settings on your Windows Mobile powered device do not match the installer. Try again with the correct language edition of Office Mobile 6.1 My device is a box standard Orange E650 (vox) in the UK. Regional Settings "UK English", Locale "English (United Kingdom)" Changed my Regional Settings to "US English" rebooted phone and then the installer ran correctly. After the install set my regional settings back and it's working perfectly, reading a .docx right now... (install takes like 10 mins and a phone reboot) -------------------- Like a monkey ready to be shot off into space. Spacemonkey. Ready to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

The word back on installation is to change your regional settings to US English and then do the install.
No news on the version issue yet. |

The TyTN II/MDA Vario III/etc. already has office 6.1 installed, can easily check by opening or creating a word doc and selecting about from menu.

Thats a real dissapointment. Not that I wasn't satisfied with the current version, but I'm always excited to get an upgrade for my kaiser. -------------------- Tired of waiting for the Tilt, Kaiser, P4550, 8925, Vario III, TyTn II.

Paul The precise message when you run the English installer for a non-US English device is: "Installation cannot continue. The language settings on your Windows Mobile powered device do not match the installer. Try again with the correct language edition of Office Mobile 6.1" My device is an Orange SPV E650 in UK English. Changing the regional settings on the device to US English and trying again works fine (and then changing back again after install completes). So, either the installer should read "US English Installer" and a proper one for the rest of the English speaking world provided, or the installer updated to install on any English version. |

To get it to install without making any checks you run it silently Open a CMD prompt and type: CODE msiexec /i "<path to>\OfficeMobile_Licensed_0409_US.msi" /qb The /qb option also gets around this error QUOTE "The Setup Wizard did not detect an earlier version of Microsoft Office Mobile on your Windows Mobile powered device. You must purchase the full version of Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1 before you continue." looeee This post has been edited by looeee: Dec 7 2007, 13:49 |
