Hi,
I am using this for a while now and I must say I haven't found any better yet.
It creates office 2011 compatible docs and has a very good pdf reader.
It is for samsung but maybe it runs on other machines too.
If you have rooted phone and some space left on /system you can push it to
/system/app instead of normal user (/data/app) install. Both work.
Cheers
Can i open .rtf files on that? Coz i have Office Suite Pro, but it wont open .rtf, on symbian s60 yes :|

Hey guys this is killing me, I've currently got 5 different office programs and I can't figure out how to create a PowerPoint slide show from my gtab with slides I already have saved. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this
I am using quickoffice (paid app) and it is pretty easy with that app.
There are several options:
1) Web based. Use the browser (I use Opera Mobile which is very capable) and do Google Docs, Thinkfree, Zoho, etc. Some of these might not work or be very hard to use on the tablet.
2) goJimi's site has a ported copy of Quickoffice or you can buy it in the market. It works ok particularly with graphic content, although not as polished as some alternative.s
3) Documents To Go (DTG) is the "gold standard" although I have not had good experience with it for PPT because it basically just shows pictures but (as far as I can tell) doesn't really let you manipulate them. Good integration with Google Docs, etc. though.
4) There is also Office Suite Pro, Olive office, and Thinkfree apps on the market.
Have not tried these.
Ok I guess I'm having trouble because I've tried all these apps and can't figure it out
hi guys.,
quick office pro
thinkfree mobile office
office suite 5 pro
documents to go full
any others pls specify...
which is the stable and best office suite for g3...
i mean in terms of speed,performance and everything...

In My opinion Thinkfree is the best.....
Polaris office is also a good one....
in my opinion thinkfree mobile office is one of the best and fastest documents editor and viewer for our g3
polaris also a very good one but when editing bigger docs it lags more than thinkfree
office suite 5 pro was quiet good for me.... uninstalled cause i didnt use it much....
i use documents to go...

Thinkfree office
Thinkfree office is the best. Supports all the old as well as new formats for Microsoft office. You can even view pdf in page view mode which is very handy if one wants to read books on phone...
Try to use Smart office.
think office is best android office app because it can run and doc file with images i didn't find it work well in quick office tested it by trying different types of doc file only if it editing quick office is better because itz rele easy but for complete package go for thinkoffice
Quick office
Quickoffice does everthing highly recommended
Kingsoft os very good IMO..

Go kingsoft. its good!!!
I think Smart office is the best. It has no lags as Office Suite.

Go Kingsoft!
I'd highly recommend Kingsoft Office. Market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wps.moffice_eng&hl=en
Although ThinkFree, Docs To Go all are good, each had a problem. Like some wouldn't open Office 10 files, PPT would be screwed up and such.
Although Kingsoft is a little heavy (7.4MB install) it does everything pretty smooth! Including accessing Box, Google Docs and DropBox!
I tried kingsoft, it's good but the only problem is it can't create a new ppt...
I want a complete solution, so....
Does any one know how to download polaris office on S3 ?
The phone only has the viewer and asks to download the editor. Where and how can I get it ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
The phone should have the full Polaris, no?
According to gsmarena.com: "You can view and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents and there's a PDF viewer to boot. Editing on the large 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display is a breeze and covers an almost full set of options - text style, justification, paragraph formatting, bullets, even creating tables (that's a first). If you're editing an Excel file, you get a formula wizard, resize rows/columns, border style, merge cells and so on. Even full-featured PowerPoint presentations are doable."
Are you sure it's just a viewer? I'm going to be a very sad panda if it turns out there's only a viewer on my phone. The inclusion of a full office editing suite was a big selling point for me...
Damn Sure
Oh noes! Catastrophy!
I got my shiny new SGS3 in my hand, and there is no Polaris Office on it, and it's not available in Samsung Apps for me either!
It looks like you can open and edit existing files but you can't access the Polaris Office suite directly to create new files.
That's what it seems like on my gs3 anyway!

It is the viewer-only version. I can't edit files on my SGS3.
See if you can find the Polaris apk on the SGS2 forum and try that .

It was available on More services last week... I dont know why Samsung has again removed it. Few people have downloaded it. guys @ dialandroid youtube have made a video also..
Hi all, don't know if this is a question or just a statement, leaning towards the latter:
Has anyone noticed that this device may come with a reader built in? I saw that you could launch with Adobe Reader, but when clicking around in Dropbox, suddenly I was able to use the QuickOffice Pro HD app to view things. I understand why this device would need this app, but when looking in Google Play, it doesn't seem to show up as purchased (and it's kind of confirmed in device with the fact that you cannot launch the app independently).
Another thought: I've only tested with PDFs launched from dropbox, that may be the reason. Maybe this is another reason to use dropbox? Unsure, but very curious feature, may affect how people would treat device (especially since I cannot zoom in and out of standard Adobe Reader, which is driving me nuts).
Back to studying for midterm in 8 hours, any thoughts? :fingers-crossed:
I also noticed this when using Google drive. I opened a .doc file and it used quick office to display the file (in read only mode). As you, I don't have quick office installed.

Not that this helps much but I just opened a file n dropbox and they gave me the choice of what program to use and quick office was on the list and it worked great. I didn't download it either.
Google bought QuickOffice and probably working to implement it fully into the Android maybe. That is interesting it doesn't show up anywhere else. I love using Quick office HD in my Infinity and is my go to productivity software.
QuckOffice was acquired by Google a while back....
http://www.quickoffice.com/google_acquires_quickoffice/
So it may be a part of the OS install, it doesn't show in the app drawer but it shows under apps/all in the system menu.
This is great news. Work is buying me an N10 so I will need something that can edit Office documents. I was considering buying Quickoffice.
I noticed this when I tried to backup QuickOffice Pro in Titanium Backup.
Does anyone of you use your Transformer Pad for writing documents? I would do so if I would find a good office app. But unfortionally I can't find one. When I'm at home I use CloudOn, because it's nearly the same as Microsoft Office and does not mess up my documents. The problem is that I want to use my Transformer for writing when I'm in school. But I don't have a wifi connection there. Therefore I search for the ultimate Office App which works without internet and does not mess up my Office 2010 documents. Any recommendations?
Hi, have you tried Polaris Office? It does word, excel & powerpoint
here is a thread with download link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099584
Cloud on? Is it for Linux?
-------------------------------------
Sent via something that can't finish it's sentan...
I tried it out but it does not seem to install. Can't flash the. zip. Maybe there is a problem with the other version which comes provided with CleanRom 3.1? Is there also version 4.0 out there for our Pad?
Edit: OK, same problem as with any other app i`ve tried. Polaris does not seem to stick to my custom font layout. I like to keep my text very compact which seems to be the problem. If I open up my documents with Polaris they are larger (one or more pages longer). So I need an office alternative which is as close to Microsoft Office as possible.
Cloud On is a cloud based office solution but does only work with cloud services (eg. Drop box,Google drive, box, etc.) I highly recommend it when you need to work at home
Is there an alternative to Polaris?
Ok tried to install lastest Polaris Office v4.0.3212.13, would not install. then tried v4.0.3210.07, it installed but kepts force closing.
I running Energy Rom by NRGZ28.
The only alternative I have tried is Kingsoft Office from the play store, seems pretty good and is free.
Kingsoft Office doesn't do the job for me either :/ No advanced settings for fonts or any other fonts. I also tried OfficeSuite Pro. But same result here. All of the apps are not capable to align my text correctly. I think I'll need to wait for the official Microsoft Office or the new Polaris.
Btw. I found my problem. It seems like all the apps don't support the settings of Office 2010 which I have currently in use. However, if I save my files in the older format (Word 97 - 2003) all apps seem to work just fine. But I go with Polaris for now Thanks again ;D:fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I was WRONG! All of them screw up... I just didn't notice that when I either save it in the new or the old format my text is simply wrong. My testdocument is 6 Pages long. But all of the apps align it to 7.
Any ideas on how to fix that? Maybe the different resolutions of my desktop and the tablet are the problem...
Mabye Microsoft Office on your tab
Hi, just thought of a way to maybe get MS Office running on android tab.
There are Linux Installer apps on the play store which allow you to install linux distro's on android, you could then install MS Office on linux using something like 'playonlinux' or 'wine'. Not sure if this would work but will give it a go over the weekend and let you know. If anyone has already tried this can you tell how it went.

Ok thanks, I'll skip giving that a go then. Will just have to wait for Office 15 for arm to come out, should be sometime this year.
AW: The ultimate Office App
The best office suite for Android is made by Softmaker. The word processor is called Ofice2012:textmaker and is a port from the Softmaker office for Windows and Linux. There is also an app for spreadsheets and a presentation app. In comparison to polarised office you get a well designed office suite with good import filters for MS docx or xlsx files.
For a comparison between different android office apps go to Softmaker website. We (can't paste URL)
It was well reviewed by the German Computer magazine C't.
However, I this quality comes with a price tag. You pay around €28 for the whole package. Money well invested
Cheers
