Have you ever tried editing a Microsoft Word document on your Pocket
PC? After all, your Pocket PC comes with Word Mobile or Pocket Word,
and both are touted by Microsoft as mobile counterparts to Microsoft Word.
If you in fact tried, you probably had an unpleasant surprise: Not
only are they as limited as the "WordPad" program that
comes with Windows for free, they are also very good at silently
removing nearly all the formatting from your Microsoft Word files...
SoftMaker offers something better: TextMaker 2006, the only
word processor for Pocket PCs that actually deserves to be
called a word processor.
TextMaker for Pocket PCs offers the full feature set and convenience
of Windows word processors such as Microsoft Word 2003: Comprehensive
formatting capabilities. Paragraph and character stylesheets. Headers
and footers. An outliner that lets you rearrange documents quickly.
Real tables with repeating headers, joint cells, borders and shading.
A complete forms editor that lets you easily create forms with
checkboxes, lists, and input fields. And much, much more!
What's more: TextMaker reads and writes all Microsoft Word
files seamlessly. Finally, you can work on important documents
on your Pocket PC and be certain that all formatting and content is preserved.
TextMaker for Pocket PCs has been created as the mobile equivalent of
Microsoft Word 2003. It has the same AutoShapes drawing layer built
in, allows you to use all Unicode characters in your Word documents,
and even supports Word's Track Changes feature that lets you
accept/reject modifications quickly.
No matter whether you create new documents on the road or just edit
and review existing files: TextMaker 2006 for Pocket PCs is your new
companion for mobile word processing.
Imagine that: Mobile word processing on your Pocket PC just like
with Microsoft Word on the desktop!
