What's new: OpenOffice.org support as well as bugfixes and feature improvements
In an ideal world, you could create Microsoft Word and Excel documents on your desktop computer, put them on your Pocket PC, edit and format them on the road, and then send them back to the office in their original file formats, with content and all formatting still intact.
This is what Pocket PC users expect from their mobile computers.
Unfortunately, this is not how it works right now. Pocket Word, the "word processor" shipping with all Pocket PCs, is perhaps the biggest disappointment for mobile users: No tables. No outliner. No on-the-fly spell-checking. Severely limited text formatting. Image support? Barely existent.
What about document conversion then? As soon as you move a .DOC file to your mobile device, all features that Word Mobile cannot deal with are stripped and thrown away. Not much more than bold, italic, and a few font variations survive...
Excel Mobile doesn't fare much better: It supports just a quarter of the mathematical functions of Microsoft Excel and silently s the rest when opening an Excel file. Excel Mobile does not support any chart, drawing functions, AutoShapes, or cell comments.
Now there is an alternative: In contrast to this "toy office", SoftMaker Office 2006 offers the full feature set of a modern office suite:
* TextMaker: Multi-language spell-checker. Graphics and drawings. DTP-like wrapping. Footnotes and endnotes. Tables with calculations. A forms designer. "Track changes" and comments. A full-fledged outliner. SmartText. And much, much more!
* PlanMaker: More than 320 calculation functions. Complex numbers and array calculations. Goal seeker. Named ranges. A powerful charting engine that can display any Excel chart. An AutoShapes-compatible drawing layer. And much, much more!
And most importantly: TextMaker and PlanMaker read and write seamlessly all Word and Excel files. You can take important documents with you and work on them without losing any formatting or content.

Thanks to mc123 for the rapdshare link. The original file contained a 7zip that just didn't work with winrar and this forum supports RAR or ZIP. Thanks for the upload barev but in future, please recompress the file so that it only uses RAR or ZIP..
I've recompressed into RAR format and uploaded it here, should work now!
