Microsoft Office Mobile Gets Upgrade to 6.1

EDIT: Wanted to let everyone know that our Tilt’s already come with Office 6.1 already installed! So, this is just a heads up for any TyTN/8525 users tuning in who do not have the upgrade. Special thanks to KCMatt for the heads up!windows-mobile-logo

Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1: Upgrade for Microsoft Office 2007 file formats

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.

    My Tilt shows that I have Office Mobile 6.1 but I am unable to open Office 2007 files. Is there a newer version available that would allow me to do so?

    Mine also is 6.1. Hmmmm. My bad. I never checked my device version and never did read that windows office was 6.1 on out Tilts. Thanks for the heads up! I will edit the post.

    Do Tilt owners need this?

    When I open Word Mobile > Menu > About, it shows Version: 6.1.

    Either it was autoupdated or the Tilts already have it installed.
