Microsoft Office 2007 introduced new Open XML-based file formats for Office applications. These new file formats reduce file size, improve security and reliability, and enhance integration with external sources.

To allow Windows Mobile users to work with Office documents created in the Open XML formats, Microsoft has developed an upgrade for Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile applications. This upgrade to the Office Mobile applications allows viewing and editing of Word documents and Excel workbooks and viewing of PowerPoint slideshows created by using Microsoft Office 2007.

Other improvements include:
. Enhanced viewing experience for charts in Excel Mobile.
. Ability to view SmartArt in PowerPoint Mobile.
. Ability to view and extract files from compressed (.zip) folders.

Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1 Full Version to support Microsoft 2007 file formats

If your Windows Mobile device does not have a version of Microsoft Office Mobile prior to 6.1, you can purchase the full version of Microsoft Office Mobile.

The Office Mobile application suite includes Microsoft Office Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint® Mobile for Windows Mobile 6 powered devices, helping users manage and review documents. Microsoft Office Mobile includes support for rich reviewing and minor editing capabilities as well as support for rights-managed documents.

The primary user scenario enabled by Office Mobile is viewing e-mail attachments, performing minor edits, sharing document versions, and opening documents from an SD card or a SharePoint server. Office Mobile provides a high-fidelity document viewing experience, with capability to edit as well as fast performance in loading the first page of the document.

Note: This free upgrade works only for Windows Mobile powered devices that have an earlier version of Office Mobile. If your Windows Mobile powered device does not have Office Mobile applications, this upgrade will not work for you. You can purchase the full version of Office Mobile 6.1 online.

FANTASTIC!!!!

Just installed to my hw6925 which runs WM5.0! I am currently using AS 4.2 and it installed fine with no problems. It is quite large and does not overwrite the old version of Office on the pocket pc, so I installed it to my storage card.

Great to be able to be able to work with Office 2007 files on the Pocket PC!

Microsoft is providing this upgrade in quite a lot of different languages. You can download Mobile Office 6.1 here:

This is what appears:

"The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this message when trying to access this download, go to the "Search for a Download" area on the Download Center home page."

I did the search for: "Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1", but nothing!

Can anyone help me with this?

Unworthy Servant of God,

Sure enough, the link gives that message now. Makes me wonder what's up. I wonder if the version I installed to my hw6925 was buggy or something.

I'd check the link from time to time to see if the message clears. I suppose, it could be possible that so many people are downloading the upgrade that the link is just overwhelmed.

XDA had the link last night and when I went there the HTML was all screwed up.
The English button was downloading the German version.....
The German button was downloading the Czech version......

When I followed your link this morning it looked to be fixed but maybe they found more errors?

So if someone had links to the files from the original offering would those be considered illegal wares?
