Paul(MVP) - Are you planning on releasing a Win Mob 6 Standard version of this? I hope so.

You know how the things that you think are going to be the easiest are actually the hardest, and how sometimes once you've started something you really wish you hadn't? Well, i've had a day like that today

I've been fortunate enough to have been using a Windows Mobile 6 Standard Landscape Smartphone for a little while now, and I really like it. A couple of things bug me though, and the key one is the fact that Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, removed the 'New' functionality from Word Mobile and Excel Mobile. No matter I thought to myself, rather than messing around doing this 'Save As' thing all the time, i'll just rustle myself up a little application to make it easier... should only take half hour.

And it did, kinda.

I was using my Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC as my dev device (big mistake), and I had it finished in next to no time at all. Brilliant! Success! So I then tried running it on my Smartphone. It b0rked On further investigation, I discovered that the 'Save As' dialogue in the Compact Framework is not implemented in Smartphone. DOH! The solution? Writing my own 'Save As' dialogue... rather a lot more work.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, i'd like to introduce you to 'MoDaCo DoNew'. This first version of DoNew is for Landscape WM6 Standard devices ONLY, and restores the 'New Document' functionality i've been missing so much, and you will all be missing when you start getting your hands on devices!

I've included some screenshots and the install CAB below, and i'm open to feedback and tweaks on what is a very quickly knocked-up application. Enjoy!

Paul, for some reason I am now unable to open a "new" Word document on my 8525 operating with WM5.  When I open Word, and click on "new" I get a message "A problem with the document was encountered and it cannot be opened."  Do you know if your fix for WM6 will also work on WM5?  Thanks.

[PaulOBrien]

It's for Smartphones. This functionality is built in already to devices like the 8525.

I have installed DoNew on a Samsung i600. It is upgraded to WM6 and Office Mobile 6.1 is installed.

When I try to create a new Word file I get always the error message "Unable to create new Word document". Same applies for Excel files.

But the files are created.

Any idea why the error message shows up all the time?

Thanks.
