[Palm OS] Docs to Go question
 

I have installed docs to go onto my N800 just fine, and I even hotsynced:). But... my hotsyncing doesn't really do anything...nothing gets transferred to my documents. I set the hotsync to transfer from my desktop to handheld, but that just gets ignored! So is there anyway that I can get my docs from my computer to my n800? Or is docs to go worthless to me?

Hey friend, how did you install Docs To Go on your N800?
I have just purchased it and got a exe file.
But I don't know hv I better do after setup it on my computer...
Please help me.
Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't think I know the answer to that one. I think you have to hotsync docs to go with a palm desktop first....but I COULD be wrong. I am not tech savy...barely get along with my "toys". I hope somebody here can answer that for you.
And I hope somebody can answer my question about docs to go(see above) because its not any good to me if I can't load any docuements.

You have to purchase the PalmOS version and install it under GarnetVM. At least that the best solution I have since there doesn't seem to be a maemo version on the website and there is no WindowsMobile,Blackberry,or Symbian emulators for Maemo either.

The .exe is a Windows program. When you run it it will create the Palm OS application files which will, in turn, be installed on the GVM during the next hotsynch process. It will also install a Windows program to manage the Word, Excel, or Powerpoint documents which you want to use on the GVM.

Hi there,

I've got Documents to Go running fine, I have version 10 which supports native MS Office documents format. If I receive an Excel spreadsheet as an email attachment is it possible to copy it into the Garnet file system so that I am able to open it using Documents to Go in Garnet. I'm not able to "see" the file system.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Ok, I understood. thanks.
All I have to do now is trying to make a hot-sync...

How do you copy the email attachment into the Garnet file system? :confused:

Re: Docs to Go question
 

The GVM cannot (yet) access the Internet Tablet's file system, nor will the GVM launcher import documents or other data files, it's designed only to install applications. The standard way to import documents or data files into any Palm OS device is to Hotsynch with a PC. Alternately, you could install a Palm OS email or web browser application.

The only way that I can get documents into docs to go is to send myself the doc as an email, copy it, and paste it into docs to go :rolleyes:. Pretty much a round the block method, but it does work. Same with my memos. I just cut and pasted the ones that I still use into my vm Memo app.
