[Q] "Complete" Word Processor for G-Tab

[EwanG]

I have both DocumentsToGo, and QuickOffice on my G-Tab. DocsToGo will let you open a Word Doc, but when you go to edit, it opens a new edit dialog with the previous sentence (at most) visible. It does not seem to allow you to edit many formatting options, and I can't see any way to use it to insert an image file into a document. QuickOffice lets you edit inline, but otherwise seems to have the same limitations.

Is there a "complete" word processing program for the G-Tab that will let me do some formatting and insert pictures, as well as produce a .DOC or .DOCX compatible file?

Is there some way to setup Google Docs like this, and have it be available if I don't have a connection (maybe through dropbox)?

TIA!

I'm using the QuickOffice HD from the Notion Ink Adam and it works great!

It's available via this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928832

Right now, the current version lets you connect to Google Docs and both edit AND create new documents (Word, Excel, PPT) as well as read PDFs

You could easily open a document up and re-save it internal to your gTablet for offline use -- or as you suggest use Dropbox to keep a local folder synced up for offline use...

Google only recently added support for the XML office files to GDocs -- so creation of new documents in those formats isn't natively supported in this version (but may be available in a newer version of QuickOffice HD I suppose)

Long Pressing in a Word document brings up a dialog with the following options:
- Add Image from Gallery
- Add Image from Camera
- Select Text
- Input Method

You can also change Fonts (inc. set Bold, Underline, Italic, etc), Alignment, Colour...

I think that just about meets your requirements (?) -- give it a try...

+1 for quickoffice tablet addition from notion ink. Works great for me!

OK, have given it a try. To begin with, I feel a little odd using it since I can't find the HD version in the market, so have to wonder if it won't up and die on me at some point.

In any event, I was able to insert and resize a picture, but couldn't find any way to select just the picture so I could try to center it. Selection handles seem a bit difficult to operate. Also could not find any way to edit my headers or footers, or to apply my document styles for chapter hearings.

Tool may support all this, but the online help isn't the greatest either. Half tempted to register and see if there have been any updates.

FWIW

The HD version is great. Use it for my college classes and I love it. Have the USB case and this and ur good to go. Being integrated with google docs and dropbox is a nice feature too

I just side loaded the Notion Ink Quick Office app, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to create a document. Am I supposed to create a Google Docs account or something? Or should I just be able to create a document on my G tab?

I think you click the app (e.g., word), then select SDCARD, then press the small + at the bottom, which will popup file or folder choice.

Got it, thanks. Very cool!

Wow i must say the Quickoffice HD is way better than my DocstoGo full at this moment. Wasted my money on Docstogo...

I like the ported canvas app as well.

This seems to be much better than doctogo.
It asked about registering it do I need to?

Nope it's optional.
