Content preview from Galaxy S II: The Missing Manual

Using Microsoft Office

THE GOLD STANDARD FOR creating and editing documents is Microsoft Office, and although your Galaxy S II can’t rival a computer when it comes to editing, there is a way to create, edit, and view Microsoft office documents—the Quickoffice app that comes on the Galaxy S II. It’s basic and bare-bones, but it gets the job done.

Tip

If Quickoffice doesn’t show up as an app in the Applications Tray, send yourself an email with an Office document as an attachment. Then open the document. That’ll launch Quickoffice, and from then on, the app should show up in the Apps Tray.

If you’re willing to spend a little money, get Documents to Go from the Android Market. There are two versions: a free version, which lets you view word processing documents and spreadsheets; and a full version, which lets you edit word processing documents and spreadsheets, do basic editing to presentations, and view PDF files. The full version costs $14.99.

Again, though, don’t expect Documents to Go to do everything you can do on a computer. Still, it’s nice to be able to edit documents when you absolutely need to.
