Editing Word2007 document in Office Mobile 6.1
I hope this is the correct forum. I can't find a forum for Office Mobile
software. I copied a 2 page document (docx) to my device. When I open it in Office Mobile 6.1 I get a notice that it is protected and I can not edit it. I can only view it. |

Editing Word2007 document in Office Mobile 6.1
There is an update for Office Mobile that will let you edit Office 2007
documents. I'm assuming that you've either installed the update, or that it came on your device (released 28 November 2007, so probably the former): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en However, the 6.1 upgrade isn't sophisticated enough to be able to edit documents that are password or rights protected. If you're trying to edit such a file, you will need to unprotect it first using the desktop version of Office 2007. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Bob" wrote in message ...

Editing Word2007 document in Office Mobile 6.1
I'm not sure, but the problem seems to be that the document has a Table of
Contents. If I create a document on my laprop with out the TOC I can edit it on my device "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: There is an update for Office Mobile that will let you edit Office 2007 documents.

Editing Word2007 document in Office Mobile 6.1
Hmmm... I have not hit that problem. I just placed a .docx file onto my
smartphone (SCH-I760). It has a table of contents, and it opens just fine for editing. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Bob" wrote in message ...

Editing Word2007 document in Office Mobile 6.1
I just noticed something. I created a Word2007 document om my laptop and
saved it at 6:30 AM. After I copied it to the storage card of my device and opened Moble Word 6.1 it appears as 1:30AM (no date) in the file date column of the file open screen.

Sure.
Another possibility is that the file contains other elements that Office Mobile 6.1 can't handle.

Editing Word2007 document in Office Mobile 6.1
That sounds like a different issue. Are the names of the time zones the same
on your laptop and smartphone? You can have the right times set, but if Windows thinks the time zones are different, then it will adjust the time stamp on the document accordingly.(I find that if a document is dated today, then Mobile Word displays just the time; if it's dated earlier, then it displays just the date.) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Bob" wrote in message ...

Editing Word2007 document in Office Mobile 6.1
Both my laptop and Device are set to Eastern Time (GMT+5 hours). I just
created a file in Office2007 and saved it at 9:06AM. Using WMDC I copied it to my device and it shows the correct time. When I open Word Mobile 6.1 it shows the time as 4:06AM. It appears to be subtracting 5 hours from the file time. "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: That sounds like a different issue. Are the names of the time zones the same on your laptop and smartphone?

Editing Word2007 document in Office Mobile 6.1
Right... which made me think that one of the devices might "think" it's in a
different time zone. I looked at the file you sent, and the problem is the content control container that encapsulates the TOC and TOC title. A plain TOC field without the content control container does not create the problem. I'll have to experiment some more, but my guess is that Word Mobile 6.1 isn't quite smart enough to deal with documents containing content controls. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Bob" wrote in message ...
