You have to touch the screen to select text, which is a pain. Microsoft Word uses Shift to select text, and previous versions of Docs to Go had this feature, so I'm surprised to not find it here.

I installed Docs to Go 9 in my Lifedrive and it was working fine until I clicked on the "toggle view" icon. I got the error message "Database: can't open (DM0206) and I get that message every time I want to run the application. I uninstalled DTG with Dataviz utility and then reinstalled it but it fixes until I use the "toggle view" icon. Please tell me if you know how to fix this problem. I have the same problem.

I uninstalled DTG with Dataviz utility and then reinstalled it but it fixes until I use the “toggle view” icon. Please tell me if you know how to fix this problem.

Everytime I try to do so it gives me an error message: Database: can't open (Dm0206) and then a blank screen. DTG will then open with a blank screen and the same message and will not work until I do a complete uninstall and reinstall. I submitted a trouble ticket to Dataviz on Friday but so far no response. I even did a hard reset of my device and then reinstalled. Same problem. Otherwise it seems to work fine. This may or may not be related. I can not use drive mode on my Lifedrive for the last month or so. It gives me a blue screen of Death in Windows XP and an error about USB. No clue as to what either of these problems are. My configuration: LD with 2GB SD Card, Sandisk Ultra II. Any help would be appreciated. BTW, I removed the SD card... And still get the same issue. Likewise, I have did extensive troubleshooting, including the afforementioned hard reset.having paid an exorbitant amount for the DTG upgrade, I am not at all happy I can not use one of the key new features. Other than this issue though, I love the package and even turned down a pirated serial to buy the packaged. Since I sent my report in on Friday, I will wait until monday before I get pissed with Dataviz, but I hope they dont send me the same lame time wasting solution of reinstall, since I have done it 20 times already!

Did you try overclocking your TE? d) WordPerfect was desktop only... e) If you find remainders of apps on the RAM, just do Manage Applications from the Menu. I do that on my Treo once a day with DocsToGo8. Any more questions? Best regards Tam Hanna Hi,
lets get answering:

a) Full screen is possible on my T3 in landscape mode – works nicely…

b) Image inclusion is not possible…as said, go MobiSystems on this one

c) Speed is decent on my Tungsten T3. Did you try overclocking your TE?

d) WordPerfect was desktop only…

Any more questions?

Freed up memory, tried again, hot-sync message that one .prc not installed. Freed more memory and tried again. With 1Mb free, cannot open/view a picture - not enough memory. Freed more memory, opened picture, fatal error - reset. Now have perpetual "Insufficent memory" error; reset required. And so on. I had several fatal errors, and about six or seven resets. Caution: If you elect to install to SD card, you might ALSO find them installed in handheld as well - something strange and non-obvious with the installation program. Now that it works (I use the term loosely) it is s o s l o w . On my TE (yes, it is a slow device) "- Start Here -.doc" document takes 36 seconds to load!!!!! A tiny text file on the card took 33 seconds to load. The older version I was using was soooo much nicer. I should have tried before I bought :(

It is not in the TX for instance. So Dataviz included their own file browser, I guess, independant from the device.

I can already invoke Files from the DTG v.8 "Open" menu. Also, is the new file browser built in, or is it just Palm’s Files app (from T5 etc.) now invoked by an icon?

OTOH, when has DTG EVER been able to open WordPerfect? My version 8 sure can’t.
