Voted Best General Utility of 2000 by ZDNet

Documents To Go frees you from having to lug the laptop around just to view your important word processing and spreadsheet files like Word and Excel. View them right on your Palm OS® handheld instead. See the features of the Windows version or the Macintosh version.

Take Word, Excel and other files with you on your Palm OS handheld - with original formatting intact!

There is no need to specially format your desktop files for the handheld because Documents To Go does it for you. Simply drag your files into the desktop application and the next time you synchronize, those files will be moved to the handheld. Files are automatically optimized viewing so you can view them anywhere, anytime.

Documents To Go's enhanced word processing viewer now supports formatting such as bold, italics, underlines justifications, indentations, auto bulleting & numbering - even tables, so the file you had on your desktop is accurately reproduced on the handheld upon synchronization.

Beam Your documents to other Palm OS handheld users

Simply select a file you wish to share and beam it to any Palm OS handheld user. Documents To Go also allows you to beam the viewers for instant compatibility. If the other handheld user has Documents To Go, the file can even be recreated on the desktop computer. Sharing files has never been easier!

Categorize Your Files

Automatically organize your files before even synchronizing them with your handheld. You can also create new categories in Documents To Go for easy file management on your handheld.

See the most up-to-date versions of your documents
