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.

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.

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

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.

Could I email my document to you and have you try it?

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. Send to herb at herbtyson dot com.
