Don, et al,
I got a response from SoftMaker:
We will do filters for Office 2007 documents, but it will take some
time to develop good working filters.
So the bottom line is right now TextMaker 2006 doesn't support the
2007 format either but they will be working on it.
Hope this helps,

I don't see anything on the SoftMaker website that indicates that it
does support 2007 file types. I am going to post in their forums and
see if I can get an answer on this one. I'll post back once I get an
answer.

Hello,
I posted on this yesterday in my RSS feed.
I've received word this afternoon regarding the compatibility between
Windows Mobile devices and Office 2007. There have been rumors
floating about that the XML-based files in Office 2007 were not
supported in Office Mobile on Windows Mobile device. I can now confirm
that this is indeed the case.
The new XML-based formats in Office 2007 are essentially a complete
redesign from previous versions. Indeed this rewrite is more
comprehensive than that between Office 95 and Office 97. Because of
this there is no mobile device on any platform or any 3rd party
application that can support the new file formats.
The plan from Microsoft is by mid-2007 to have an update for Windows
Mobile 5 devices so they can view and edit the files. Further, new
devices running the next version of Windows Mobile - codename Crossbow
- will be able to read the new file formats as well.

I have a Cingular 8525 running WM5.0 with Mobile Microsoft Office. I have
Office 2007 on my PC. I cannot view Office 2007 files on my Pocket PC. Is
there a compatibility pack for Mobile Office that supports viewing Office
2007 files?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
One should imagine though that you can always save your documents in the
pre-2007 formats. It's going to take a while for the Office 2007 formats
to become widespread and in the meantime there has to be backwards
compatibility.
Also, does TextMaker 2006 support the 2007 format? (I'm still using
2002, so don't know).
