Creating and managing Office files

The Documents application provides powerful editing and file management features for Office

computer and your device.

Here are some of the capabilities of Documents:

• View Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files in their native format (DOC, XLS, or PPT).

• Create or edit a Word document or Excel spreadsheet on your device and save it in their native

format.

• Create or edit a PowerPoint-compatible presentation that is optimized for viewing on your

device.

• Open Office files received as attachments to incoming email messages

, and attach files to

outgoing messages.

• Transfer Office files to a Bluetooth

or Wi-Fi

printer using your device’s built-in wireless

technology.

You can store and synchronize your Office files and folders in the Documents folder of your

device's hard drive. View and access the files and folders using the Files application on your

device. You can also view the files and folders using LifeDrive™ Manager

Mode (Mac and Windows) on your computer. You can manage items on the hard drive in various

ways: copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and so on, using LifeDrive Manager (Windows) or
