A new public beta version of SoftMaker Office 2008 for Pocket PCs is now available as a free download. This new beta comes with several fixes and improvements, such as:

• The setup program now optionally installs design templates and graphical bullets to a storage card, thereby freeing internal memory.
• Umlauts and accented characters can now be entered on the Palm Treo’s built-in keyboard.
• Opening the Zoom dialog doesn’t make the software unstable anymore.
• If you move Jetcet Print to a different folder, SoftMaker Office will still find it.
• Slideshows in Presentations now always fit on the screen.
• SoftMaker Presentations now allows you to insert sound files.

Download details:

• If you do not already have the previous beta, please visit http://www.softmaker.com/english/ofpbetareg_en.htm to register and download the fresh beta.
• If you have the previous beta, simply download the new installer file from http://www.softmaker.net/down/ofpw08beta.exe without registering again for the beta.

One more note for users of the previous beta: The latest setup program does not automatically place design templates and graphical bullets for SoftMaker Presentations in \My Documents\SoftMaker\Bullets and \My Documents\SoftMaker\Designs, respectively. Instead, if you install to a storage card, those two folders will be created on the storage card. If the previously mentioned folders still exist on your Pocket PC, you can now delete them, thereby freeing precious internal memory.
