T3 and Tungsten E Handhelds Are First Palm Handhelds to Ship With Native Document Support in the Box DataViz(R), Inc today announced that DataViz's Documents To Go(R) Professional Edition Version 6 is included with the new Palm(TM) Tungsten(TM) T3 and Tungsten E handhelds from Palm, Inc. These are the first Palm handhelds to ship with the ability to view, edit and even create native Microsoft(R) Word and Excel compatible documents, as well as work with PowerPoint(R) files. Because Documents To Go is included in ROM, customers will be able to begin working with native documents as soon as their handheld powers up for the first time. "Over the past year, Palm handhelds equipped with Documents To Go have been acclaimed for providing the best experience with Microsoft Word A full-featured word processing program for Windows and the Macintosh from Microsoft.

Before native document support, the Documents To Go desktop application converted Microsoft Word and Excel files to a special handheld format that Documents To Go could open.

Here are some examples where native document support is useful: -- Easily share files in a "mixed" environment. For example, use an SD Card as a modern day "floppy disk" to exchange files between Palm handhelds simply by swapping SD Cards loaded with Word and Excel compatible files. The same SD Card can be used to upload handheld files to any computer with an SD slot or card reader. There is no need to have Documents To Go installed on that desktop computer. -- Use Documents To Go along with popular wireless e-mail applications such as Palm VersaMail(TM) to receive, edit, and send Word and Excel compatible files as e-mail attachments. Documents To Go can automatically open attachments on the handheld itself so documents can be viewed, edited, and sent on. Edit any Word or Excel file in Documents To Go on the handheld, send them off as an e-mail attachment, and they will arrive at their destination as Word or Excel compatible files. Other New Features in Documents To Go Professional Edition Version 6 -- Landscape support: Documents To Go takes advantage of the new expanded screen and landscape mode of the Tungsten T3 handheld so more data can be displayed on screen. -- Margi Presenter-to-Go integration: Now there is one streamlined way to manage presentation files.
