Thanks Eleanor, but I can't even read a .doc file in quick office, but by the 
sounds of it I should be able to!  Don't know what I can do, but hopefully 
someone will come up with an idea, cheers Steve.

  Hi Steve
  I purchased the Quick Office or Quick World or whatever it is called.

  Now let me start from the beginning.  With Quick Office Word Viewer you can 
open Word files and Talks will read them to you on the phone but you cannot 
Edit them.  I had no problem in that regard.  

  This evening I purchased via my phone the Quick Office Word 6.0 and now I can 
open the files and nothing happens in terms of reading them.  However if you 
press key 1 and choose Edit then the file can be read and one can cursor 
through and edit it too.  

  I am very pleased with my purchase.

  A few niggley things like Talks not reading the list of most recent files 
opened or used and indeed not reading the list of Word files but if I access 
the Word files via the folder I have them in and open them that way I am 
absolutely fine.

  Now the RTF files and TXT files.  These files open in Notes.  It is 
irritating for me that what I have on my computer in terms of RTF files look 
just like a Word document and read fine but once on the phone are opening in 
Notes and reading a whole load of stuff from the Website where I downloaded 
from, I refer to the written commands put in to put the documents on the 
website.  Now Maybe I will have to convert these RTF files to Word 2003 Docs 
and then I might be fine but I've spent enough time this evening and willdo it 
tomorrow maybe.  Notes are useful and have been for me prior to the release of 
Talks 4.0 but now if I am writing something I will open a new Word document on 
the phone and do it that way and then save it as a Word file.

  Hope this helps Steve.

  Eleanor

    Eleanor, from previous posts, I gather you can read .doc files in quick 
office without having to purchase it?  Well I've tried this and talks reads 
nothing.  My wife says that the text is there but no go I'm afraid.  Also does 
anyone know if there's a limit on the size of a .txt file that you can open on 
a mobile.  I can open the default/system .txt files, but not any I've 
transfered to the phone.  Talks says either the format is not supported or that 
there's not enough memory and to shut some programs down.  Any ideas on what I 
can do...especially with the .doc files, as I thought talks 4 supported these.  
Cheers Steve.

      I purchased this.  Now I have a problem and I think Paul/ALL FORMATS has 
already discussed this.  The fact that we cannot hear the names of the recent 
files.  Have you Paul or anyone discovered how we can do this please?  The 
other thing is this, is it just Word that we have purchased?  Where are the 
other Applications, PowerPoint, Spreadsheets etc?  I know these may not be 
accessible but are they there?  The editing function is excellent I have to say.

      Eleanor
