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 or 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!
