To be useful in the real world, an office suite needs to be compatible with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.
SoftMaker Office Mobile for Android fills this requirement competently: It not only works impeccably with the old Microsoft Office formats DOC, XLS, and PPT, but also faithfully reads and writes files in the new DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX formats that have been introduced with Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010.
You will not find any other mobile office suite that renders documents in all these file formats as faithfully as SoftMaker Office Mobile.
SoftMaker Office Mobile 2012 for Android comes with these applications:
· TextMaker 2012 - The powerful and reliable word processor. Reads and writes DOC and DOCX files.
· PlanMaker 2012 - The capable spreadsheet. Reads and writes XLS and XLSX files.
· SoftMaker Presentations 2012 - The PowerPoint-compatible presentation program. Reads and writes PPT and PPTX files.
A large array of features
Compatibility with the Microsoft Office file formats is but one of the virtues of SoftMaker Office Mobile for Android. It also offers many features that no other Android office is able to provide.
For example, you can use tracked changes and comments in the word processor, in exactly the way you know from Microsoft Word on the desktop. TextMaker comes with a spell checker that underlines typos in red, and PlanMaker correctly renders all Excel charts. SoftMaker Presentations is capable of showing slideshows on your Android device with all animations and slide transitions intact. What's more, all programs come with built-in PDF export.
SoftMaker Office Mobile is the right choice for you if you need dependable access to Microsoft Office files on your Android phone or tablet.
