I just upgraded my Curve 8330 so that I could get Docs To Go. Well, the upgrade went fine and I have an app for docs to go. Question is, how do I get it to work? I can get an attached Word doc emailed to me, but I can't edit or modify it. I'm not even given the option to do so. Do I need to go to dataviz to buy the software now that my bb is able to download it? I'm trying to figure this out for my boss and I want to make sure I don't screw up his bb.
If you got to the Dataviz website, you'll see what you can and cannot do with the STANDARD package. If you register and update via your BB, you'll be able to pull the MS Excel part of their program. HOWEVER, I believe that in order to edit a document, you'll have to buy their software.
You have to run the Documents To Go application on your device. You do need to register the application. It was a free registration when I put the 4.5 beta on my device.
I did just discover that I could attach a Word document, that I created on my device with D2G, to an email. So, I expect that it is possible to do the reverse. Save the email attachment, and then open it in D2G.
I've done some major typing in it and it works pretty well.
you just gotta save the doc attachment instead of using the open function, once u do that go to it on the word one then edit
no see track changes and other stuff theres a list on the site
Fisk, I did register the Docs to Go. When I highlight the attached word document, I'm not given the option to download it. I only have the option of opening it.

I do not have a media card...is that the problem?
Yes. The media card in needed to use download.
If your needs are modest, the 1 Gb media cards are very inexpensive and will hold a 1,000 Mb of data files.
The media card will also free up a lot of reserved memory on your BlackBerry for even better performance.

Very good. Thanks guys. I will purchase a media card to make sure everything is good to go. I appreciate the quick feedback and help. This site is great.

I had this problem. After I registered I resent my service books and then I had the option to download the documents.
I updated to the new sprint OS and I don't seemed to be able to edit the documents or to save them to my phone and be able to open them again. I save the attachment, download to media card (this gives me a warning that I'm saving something can't be opened on my phone), then when I explore the media card later I can't open it (Hence the warning obviously).
Is there something I need to do here to make it work? I didn't actually purchase the program I thought that it was supposed to work when I updated.
does the excel editor/viewer come with the free docs 2 go? i recently updated my OS and got the docs to go but i only have word and powerpoint.
big.daddy....have you opened either of the 2 & registered docs yet?
I did that yesterday & if I remember right after doing the register it allowed me to upgrade which got me the excel.
IDK if anyone has mentioned this, but if you save a Blank Formof each program to your Memory Card, you can use that to create new documents, so on and so forth. Just a little tip I found a few minutes ago :-)
