I need an app that will open an Excel file so I can read and edit it. I got Office Suite Pro but I don't understand how to open an excel attachment in a email.
Please advise
I think that might depend on the email client you are using, but you should be able to just download it to your phone and open it there. I don't use that program, I use Quick Office Pro and the couple of word files I've opened I just clicked the attachment and it downloaded and opened it.

Hi all,
I'm in the nice position of having managed to cancel my orange contract early for free ( T+C changes) and can now take out a spanking new contract.
The hero is top of the list as I can't be waiting for the X3 to emerge.
I currently have a Touch HD/Blackstone.
The HD can do all I want it to, I use it mainly for business, so the question is this:
Can the hero sync my outlook calender ok(it is linked to my google account as well)? Can it read adobe file ok? and Doc's? excel?
Does it recieve email ok?
Basically, can it do all I've mentioned ok?
Sorry so long winded.....
Ta
Yes to everything exept docs and excel (only because I have not needed to do them so just don't know rather than saying no)
Hi, Thanks,
Can anyone say if it will open excel or docs or does it need an app to do this.
Mods: Somehow my post has appeared twice? can the other one with no answers be delete.
Not tried it yet but the Hero comes with QuickOffice.
According to the manual...
Quickoffice lets you view Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, and
Microsoft PowerPoint files on your phone. Quickoffice supports viewing of
Microsoft Office 00 Word (.doc), Excel (.xls), PowerPoint (.ppt) and text (.txt) files.

@squirreleater: Yes, it does all that you have asked in your O.P.
I had a problem with opening Office files on a PC after editing the files in Polaris on my Prime. I discovered a workaround so you don't have to start your document all over again.
You need to e-mail the file to your gmail account as an attachment and then view it in Google Documents. After opening it will say the file is corrupt but it offers the possibility to view it in Plain HTML and there is your document. It's not a perfect sollution but a reasonable workaround, you will only lose certain data but most of it is rescued.
I hope this will help you

I used Polaris to write a document in a meeting - a couple of lessons learned...
1 - did it really do that? I think that if I leave the app without saving it, it loses information. I have not fully figured it out but is that others experience? can I swap around apps and NOT lose data?
2 - trying to view the document in Word afterwards was really frustration. The worse item was linebreaks in the middle of words in a paragraph. Ultimately I started a new blank Word document and imported the Polaris version into it and all was well.
So I have tested pretty much I'd say 97% of the office suite apps available for Android. I'm surprised by the fact that almost none support editing with the pen. Unless I am doing something wrong?
The only one I could get to edit via the pen was Polaris Office. However, after making changes and opening it up in Word 2010 the handwriting was there but fragmented so wasn't legible.
My goal is to be able to open up a document residing in Dropbox on the tablet, make changes so others can open up on PC and view. Have not been successful as of yet.
Anyone have luck with doing it another way? I haven't tried OnLive Desktop yet but not sure it allows the proper access.
**Edit....guess I should mention what I was originally trying to do was put my signature on a Word document so someone else could print it out of Dropbox instead of me having to print it and sign manually.
None of the office apps on the market has built in pen or signature function. You could make a note, save it as an image and paste it in. There are some PDF apps that have signature capability .

That is too bad. I know that ezPDF has added pen integration in. Guess I could convert the .doc to .pdf and then annotate if need be. Like I posted earlier Polaris Office did let me write on it and would work as long as I continued to view it on the tablet. Word is finding errors in the doc once opened but not sure why that is.
Signing an electronic document
The flyer comes with pdf viewer which allows you to electronically sign a document. Convert your word document to pdf and sign it with your pen through pdf viewer.

I can do that via ezPDF as well but was hoping for the ability to markup a Word document & save back into DB so a PC user could then open in Word and view the markups/signature and keep it editable. Since most users don't have anything besides Adobe Reader on their PC the pdf would have to be converted back again and would probably lose the formatting.
Oh well....dare to dream.
This might work for you. Works with Evernote / HTC note. I have not tried it.

I do not think it is free

Here is an interesting article that basically points out that a document signed as you are attempting cannot be validated .

Actually, the latest version of Adobe Reader allows you to create and add signatures to .pdf documents quite easily.
Since shortcuts for web pages made on PC cannot be used to launch the browser on Android and open those web page links, is there an app which would allow you to browse files on your Android and then directly open url web page link shortcuts?
I use Opera on my PC, and Opera Mobile on the phone and have linked both using Opera Link. It syncs my history, bookmarks and passwords etc. between both devices. So if I want to open a url i found on pc, I bookmark it and its there on my phone too...
I see what you're saying - on a Windows PC internet shortcuts have a .url extension and when you click on them it opens whatever url is in that shortcut.
I don't think there is an equivalent on Android. I use bettercut which allows me to put shortcuts to browser bookmarks on a home screen or folder - I click on the shortcut and it opens that web page in browser. The website must be bookmarked in your browser however.
I tried putting URLs in a text file - clicking on the text file opens notepad and you click on the url which then opens the website. There's no direct way of clicking on an internet shortcut in a folder on Android though without using the afore mentioned methods. Maybe someone will code an app.
Yeah, if someone ever reads this in the future, pleas post if you came across anything that would allow us to browse through folders and click on url shortcuts created on PC and have them open a web page in any browser.
This has nothing to do with synchronization or previously used links.
This is about random never before seen url shortcuts that you come across inside folders which were originally created on PC and you simply want to open the web page shortcuts inside those folders *directly*.

Check this out, guys: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zapek.android.stuntzurl
Good luck!
u might use chrome to phone if youre using chrome on youre pc
if u are on android 4 download chrome browser from the market it owns a very simple sincronizing function
Although you are a correct, that was not the original question.
Thank you handfish for the link! stuntzurl application allows you to open URL links in a folder on your Android phone with a simple click.
oooh stuntzurl does not work after updating to Android 4.4 KitKat.
If anyone comes across an app that does, please post!
"Toggelis Url Opener" does what you want and it works with Android K, L, M and N.
I used window explorer to transfer a bunch of files such as pdf, excel etc.. but when I open office 365 and click on documents on your phone. I couldn't find any files that I transfered.
How do I get to the files?
Well lets start by back tracking and asking where you moved the files too on the phone when you used Windows explorer and then are the files still there when viewed with Windows explorer now.
Then are you telling the app to look in that directory for the docs. It won't just scan the phone and find all the docs. You have to point it to the docs.
Have you tried another app like Open Office? Just to make sure the app is not the issue?
