Using Polaris Office for Excel on my SGS2, the available date formats are US formats, e.g. MM/DD/YYYY. Locale is set to UK and Date Format set to DD/MM/YYYY in Android settings, it's right everywhere else, so anyone know how to fix it in Polaris?

Hi all,
I'm in the nice position of having managed to cancel my orange contract early for free ( T+C changes) and can now take out a spanking new contract.
The hero is top of the list as I can't be waiting for the X3 to emerge.
I currently have a Touch HD/Blackstone.
The HD can do all I want it to, I use it mainly for business, so the question is this:
Can the hero sync my outlook calender ok(it is linked to my google account as well)? Can it read adobe file ok? and Doc's? excel?
Does it recieve email ok?
Basically, can it do all I've mentioned ok?
Sorry so long winded.....
Ta
Yes to everything exept docs and excel (only because I have not needed to do them so just don't know rather than saying no)
Hi, Thanks,
Can anyone say if it will open excel or docs or does it need an app to do this.
Mods: Somehow my post has appeared twice? can the other one with no answers be delete.
Not tried it yet but the Hero comes with QuickOffice.
According to the manual...
Quickoffice lets you view Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, and
Microsoft PowerPoint files on your phone. Quickoffice supports viewing of
Microsoft Office 00 Word (.doc), Excel (.xls), PowerPoint (.ppt) and text (.txt) files.

Hey, I have a Samsung Galaxy S which I intend to use as a note-taking device for my classes in college. I am buying a bluetooth keyboard and stand for it so that typing will be fast but need advice on which office suite or app is the best for that usage?
I have ThinkFree Office preinstalled and it works fine but I was wondering if there's something better. I need it to be able to:
Read: Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Pdf documents
Create: Word documents
Easily sync with my computer/laptop.
Anything better than ThinkFree Office?
Looking for the same thing anybody know?
Try QuickOffice...
For sync.. there's nothing as far as I know...
(BTW Sorry for my english, it isn't my native language)
For taking advanced text based notes, use Quickoffice or Polaris office (I have it on my SGS2)
And for notes having photos, notes, recordings etc, I had made a list of some note taking apps here. Do tell me if you found any one of them which suits your needs.
definitely evernote... it saves your notes automatically and backs them up online and you can access them from any device or computer its pretty sweet
I had a problem with opening Office files on a PC after editing the files in Polaris on my Prime. I discovered a workaround so you don't have to start your document all over again.
You need to e-mail the file to your gmail account as an attachment and then view it in Google Documents. After opening it will say the file is corrupt but it offers the possibility to view it in Plain HTML and there is your document. It's not a perfect sollution but a reasonable workaround, you will only lose certain data but most of it is rescued.
I hope this will help you

I used Polaris to write a document in a meeting - a couple of lessons learned...
1 - did it really do that? I think that if I leave the app without saving it, it loses information. I have not fully figured it out but is that others experience? can I swap around apps and NOT lose data?
2 - trying to view the document in Word afterwards was really frustration. The worse item was linebreaks in the middle of words in a paragraph. Ultimately I started a new blank Word document and imported the Polaris version into it and all was well.
So I have tested pretty much I'd say 97% of the office suite apps available for Android. I'm surprised by the fact that almost none support editing with the pen. Unless I am doing something wrong?
The only one I could get to edit via the pen was Polaris Office. However, after making changes and opening it up in Word 2010 the handwriting was there but fragmented so wasn't legible.
My goal is to be able to open up a document residing in Dropbox on the tablet, make changes so others can open up on PC and view. Have not been successful as of yet.
Anyone have luck with doing it another way? I haven't tried OnLive Desktop yet but not sure it allows the proper access.
**Edit....guess I should mention what I was originally trying to do was put my signature on a Word document so someone else could print it out of Dropbox instead of me having to print it and sign manually.
None of the office apps on the market has built in pen or signature function. You could make a note, save it as an image and paste it in. There are some PDF apps that have signature capability .

That is too bad. I know that ezPDF has added pen integration in. Guess I could convert the .doc to .pdf and then annotate if need be. Like I posted earlier Polaris Office did let me write on it and would work as long as I continued to view it on the tablet. Word is finding errors in the doc once opened but not sure why that is.
Signing an electronic document
The flyer comes with pdf viewer which allows you to electronically sign a document. Convert your word document to pdf and sign it with your pen through pdf viewer.

I can do that via ezPDF as well but was hoping for the ability to markup a Word document & save back into DB so a PC user could then open in Word and view the markups/signature and keep it editable. Since most users don't have anything besides Adobe Reader on their PC the pdf would have to be converted back again and would probably lose the formatting.
Oh well....dare to dream.
This might work for you. Works with Evernote / HTC note. I have not tried it.

Here is an interesting article that basically points out that a document signed as you are attempting cannot be validated .

Actually, the latest version of Adobe Reader allows you to create and add signatures to .pdf documents quite easily.
I have used Polaris Office 4 on my Note II for a while now and love it. It works great with my service reports for work in the field and did a great job of exporting to PDF so I could email to my clients.
Bought a Note 10.1 2014 Edition with Polaris Office 5 and the export feature now embeds 2 Korean fonts in the PDF that brings up an error for the clients that they need to install those fonts to read the PDF. I have checked and none of the text in the document uses these two fonts. Using Dropbox and opening the same edited Word file on my Note II and exporting to PDF on it results in a PDF that is readable without the fonts. Word on my computer doesn't show these fonts as being part of the document after the file is edited on the 10.1 and saving as a PDF in Word doesn't have the fonts.
So why is it embedding them when it does the PDF export? I can't find a way around this. I have put in a ticket with Polaris Office and gotten no response.
Any ideas?
