[Q] Office Documents

[stabloid]

I am considering buying a Flyer, and was wondering if somebody could try something for me please?

I've heard that you can edit office documents on the flyer, and was wondering if
A. It was limited to Microsoft Office,
B. Can you use drop down menus etc. setup in a spreadsheet,
C. Does formatting carry over directly from a P.C. or do you lose some of the formatting like most portable office viewers.

If somebody was able to carry out a few tests for me using Microsoft Office, and OpenOffice, I would be hugely grateful.

Cheers.

Steve.

Well I'll add some info...I have not done a lot of document editing on the tablet, however. I have opened up some word, excel, and powerpoint documents, and it holds up the format well for viewing on tablet from what I have seen. The software used is polaris office. Editing abilities for powerpoints are severely limited. You can move stuff around and edit text. I am not seeing an obvious way to add items. Excel is similar in limitations. Word limits things to simple text editing (bold italics underline). Overall I'm going to say it is mostly just suitable for viewing these things, unless the document is very basic.

My other advice is to head on over to a best buy or sprint and try some of your files out first hand. They may let you plug in a sd card, or if not, throw a few files up on dropbox and download them to the tab in store. I did that to see how powerpoints would look on it, which was my main concern.
