Solving problem with edited Polaris files in Office

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.

[Q] App to view MSN XML files

Hello
I was wondering if there is an app or similar that could help me open and view the .xml files that are made when MSN backs up the history logs on a computer on a android tablet?
I'm starting to use my Prime tablet more than my old Laptop, but I still need easy access to my MSN chat logs from my computer, and when i open the .xml files with a text editor, the result is chaos (as I would've thought it to be), so I need something to display it with properly.
Any ideas?

Where's my documents?

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?

Polaris Office PDF Export Embeds Korean Fonts?

I have used Polaris Office 4 on my Note II for a while now and love it. It works great with my service reports for work in the field and did a great job of exporting to PDF so I could email to my clients.
Bought a Note 10.1 2014 Edition with Polaris Office 5 and the export feature now embeds 2 Korean fonts in the PDF that brings up an error for the clients that they need to install those fonts to read the PDF. I have checked and none of the text in the document uses these two fonts. Using Dropbox and opening the same edited Word file on my Note II and exporting to PDF on it results in a PDF that is readable without the fonts. Word on my computer doesn't show these fonts as being part of the document after the file is edited on the 10.1 and saving as a PDF in Word doesn't have the fonts.
So why is it embedding them when it does the PDF export? I can't find a way around this. I have put in a ticket with Polaris Office and gotten no response.
Any ideas?

Recover

Hello Everyone!
Due to finding no Ringtones to allot to my new email, and only a lot of files in that location, I stupidly removed the files to see if the ringtones would then appear. They didn’t”! I now seem to have deleted most of my photos in my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active mobile Gallery along with all the recorded data on my S Memo pages. And, probably, many other items that I have not yet discovered as missing!
I have downloaded an App called DiskDigger for photos. It has pulled up over 1,000 photos, some of which are duplicates or more. On wading through them and choosing an awful lot to restore, I am given the following choices where to restore them to - Bluetooth, Email, 3 named emails, Save as, Save to Drive, WhatsApp, WiFi Direct. However, once again I found a problem as I cannot move the number of my selected photos to the apps as there are too many chosen photos. I therefore took the second option and selected a named file.
That done, I found that they had ‘miraculously’ appeared in my Gallery! A further search and selection will, hopefully, repeat that.
I then downloaded an app that supposedly recovers documents named, strangely enough, 'Document Recovery'! It has recovered some documents which are proving a little difficult to open successfully to read. They go to a blank page after the indication that they are - 'Loading' - 'Opening' - then nothing!
I would also seek advice about a way to recover the details previously recorded on the S.Memory pages, if possible, (an app that works like a notebook where text etc can be written and saved.) and how to successfully open the documents recovered by Document Recovery and placed in an automatically named “All Recovered Documents” file.
Many thanks in advance for any advice!
Regards,
Colin.
