Teaches: a PDA utility

CTR Review

This full-featured office suite is the first ever that lets you open Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint files on your handheld with no hot-sync required. There are several ways to do this, including infrared beaming, email, or opening the documents as attachments. The ability to get your .docs on the road without hot-synching is great for administrators who don't spend a lot of time in the office. In addition, this software includes the tools you'd expect: word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and charts; each compatible with their Microsoft PC counterparts. A full version of PrintBoy handles the printing, and a copy of Quickpics lets you drag and drop any image from your PC to view and use in your handheld projects. Improvements to the 7.1 version include a smoother interface and faster performance. All things considered, this is a very useful collection of tools, and it's quite affordable, too.
