Thanks.

Oh, and what's the best way to use standard email cover letters to edit and customize?

On mine, I was able to install it with the OS 4.5, but it only had the word and power point program. I had to register (for free) to download the excel portion of the app.

The freebie version is read only...to edit you have to buy the Pro version.

That is incorrect information. You can edit files in the free version you cannot create a new file without the pro version.

You should see Open a file. Select the document you want to open and then
hit the menu and hit edit mode then you should be able to edit your document.

I know I'm doing something wrong. I installed v 4.5 from the RIM site, then I went to the link for Documents to Go. But I don't see the application on my BB and can't see how to register to get it.

Are you doing this thru your Desktop Manager? Make sure that you are doing this on the computer that has the copy of 4.5 installed on it, so that your desktop manager can reference it. Open DM, and go to Application Loader>Add/Remove Applications. From here it should find the copy of 4.5 that you have on your pc, but you may have to direct it to the program itself, i can't remember. Anyways, once it loads all the applications that you have to choose from (on your BB and with the 4.5 package) you can scroll down and select Documents To Go. Hit next and it will say "You are going to install Documents To Go" or something along those lines, from there you hit next and it will begin the process of adding it to your BB. Don't unplug it, your phone will reset, and you should have the folder on your application screen.

You are using OS 4.5 right? When you open the attachment it should ask if you want to view or edit with document to go.

If you have an SD card, you can hook to your computer and enter Mass Storage mode, and you can save documents into the Documents folder, where you will be able to access them from Docs To Go.
