4.0 out of 5 stars Documents to Go, November 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Documents To Go Standard 5 (CD-ROM)

I am a graduate student and I use my Palm IIIxe to do a variety of tasks, mostly to keep my calendar, address, book and to take notes.

I bought a little keyboard so that I can type rather than use the screen touchpad for entries especially while taking notes in class or at the library.

Prior to using the Documents To Go software, I just used the memopad for my notes. This was not a good solution because I could not add any type of formatting to the notes and would end up having to restructure my notes. Now with Documents to Go, I can use bullets, bold and other formatting features. Its great! To date I am happy to report that I have not lost any of my data and it has made it easier for me to store, retrieve, and search my notes. I have even used Insert Table to create and edit tabular data. Not a bad investment if you ask me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Palm Excel Word Viewer I Have Ever Used!!!, September 13, 2003

This is by far the best Palm Excel / Word viewer I have ever used! I consider myself to be an intermediate/advanced PC user maintaining over 35 PCs... Take it from a stressed out Facility Manager, I do not have time or spare stress to mess around with junk software. A reviewer noted a problem with DTG not uploading data to his PC. Please note I only need this program as a viewer, and I do not make any changes to the file on the Palm. This potential problem aside, once I installed the program, and loaded my 15 sheet Excel program, I had navigation and all functions I needed mastered in two minutes WITHOUT THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL! >>TinySheet for Excel, which is a different program, bashing begins here>>. I have SUFFERED for more that a year with TinySheet. The Sync never worked correctly. I had to manually add the Excel document to the upload manager which crashed the computer after sync, reboot the PC, and it may work. To update the file I had to delete the file from upload manager, sync without it, and manually add it back in the upload manager to FORCE it to upload (then reboot the PC...). TinySheet bad Documents to Go 5 Good! >>Mobile DB for Excel Bashing Begins Here>>. Since my job is about to double, I WAS (before discovering DTG) looking for something more reliable and less frustrating. I installed Mobile DB for Excel. It seemed to work, but it ONLY supports ONE sheet within Excel (I use 15 sheets), AND each SHEET (not file)has to be manually saved as a .CSV (comma separated) file which made this program a failure for my needs. I wasted $30.00 on that one... Mobile DB for Excel bad Documents to Go 5 Good! -Psalm 64, God Bless Our Troops!

1.0 out of 5 stars You may lose the File you were working on, October 29, 2002

This review is from: Documents To Go Standard 5 (CD-ROM)

I have Documents to Go installed on my Visor handheld. It works OK except for a major problem that you should be aware of. Maybe it is only me, but a number of times I have worked hours on a document and stored it. Then when I hotsych to my computer, the file is lost and does not show up on my PC either. I only get an indicator on my Visor saying that the file contents are not there. Imagine the frustration and wasted time. I am a proficient computer user. I write macros, manage a website, and am starting to learn PHP, but I haven't been able to resolve this problem. Perhaps there is a way around the problem but unless you are prepared to sink a lot of time figuring it out, be forewarned of this.
