Using Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents on a Palm TX handheld
Your Palm TX handheld lets you take your office with you — including your Microsoft Office files.
Using the Documents application on your device, you can carry, create, view, and edit Microsoft Word and Excel files directly on your handheld. After adding software, you can also view, carry, and manage PowerPoint files on your device.
You can keep updated copies of the files on both your device and your computer so that you can work on them in the most convenient location any time.

Work with documents on your Palm TX
Once you've added Word, Excel and PowerPoint files to your Palm TX, you can use the Documents application to work with them.
The Documents application provides powerful editing and file management features.
• View Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files in their native format (DOC, XLS, or PPT).
• Create or edit a Word document or Excel spreadsheet on your device and save it in their native format.
• Create or edit a PowerPoint-compatible presentation that is optimized for viewing on your device.
• Open Office files received as attachments to incoming email messages, and attach files to outgoing messages.
To view and open a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file on your device:
• Go to Applications.
• Select Documents.
The Documents application will search your Palm TX's internal memory (and expansion card, if inserted) for Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. These will automatically appear in the list. Tap any document to open it.
