Quickoffice Inc has launched a new apparatus for conducting editing work on the iPhone. This is a third-party tool that lets the user edit, format or create Microsoft Word and Excel documents, and then return them to a PC or Mac where they can be opened in Word or Excel.
This apparatus offers some fastidious features. It has very well designed cut, copy and paste function, and is able to save files on the phone. Besides, it has an integral email function so the user can send files to others and is capable to upload or download files to and from a PC or Mac, as well as to and from online storage.
Unfortuntaley, the tool is not able to load and edit a Word or Excel file which is sent in form of an email attachment. Quickoffice insists that this is the restraint of a built-in iPhone, but it remains a big problem for the user. Hence, to insert files at Quickoffice for conducting an editing work, the user will have to transfer them by using a Wi-Fi network from a PC or Mac.
Quickoffice for the iPhone has three modules. The first is called Quickword which is the word processor. The second is Quicksheet, the spreadsheet program. These two, also separately available from the apparatus store at US$12.99 each, and can handle standard Microsoft documents and xls files, but not Microsoft’s newer .docx and .xlsx formats.
The third module, which named Quickoffice Files, can only transfer and display files but does not enable the user to edit or create them. It can handle a much wider variety of file types, and is sold separately at price of US$1.99
