I also mention the PDF reader that came with the N900 and is not part of the DataViz software.
DataViz Docs to Go Problems
Problem 1) I don't have much installed on my N900 to slow it down, etc. With a 3.5mb 166-page Word document opened in Word to Go, using the FIND feature freezes up the application for about a minute or more. After the freeze, either Note that when this is happening with the Word to Go application, I can still use other applications on the N900, so it is not the N900 freezing up, it's the Word to Go application.
Problem 2) Word to Go does not maintain columns or tables in the Word document. Problem 3) There is no kinetic scrolling. To scroll through a 166-page Word document is exhausting because the scrolling stops the moment your finger comes off the screen.
N900's PDF Reader Problems
Problem 1) I converted the 166-page Word document into a PDF on my lap top and transferred it to the N900. The columns and table-shading are maintained, but it won't display the pages continuously. Instead, you can only go to the next page by clicking on the arrow.
Problem 2) The N900 PDF reader does not have a FIND feature. This makes it difficult to locate a particular phrase in a 166-page document.
Problem 3) The PDF reader also lacks kinetic scrolling. You can't scroll through pages anyway because you are forced to view one page at a time, and go to the next page by clicking the arrow. But even in a zoomed-in single page, scrolling stops the moment your finger comes off the screen.
Solutions?
1) Any alternative PDF reader that adds the FIND feature and lets you view the document in continuous pages?
2) Any alternative Word reader that doesn't freeze up, doesn't remove columns, and doesn't eliminate table properties?
3) Any of the above alternatives in an application format on the device itself, instead of in the cloud on some web server that requires an Internet connection?
4) Any way to display this in portrait mode? I know the browser can be in portrait with the CTRL + SHIFT + O combo. It would be nice to have that in the PDF and Microsoft Office documents too.
One option I thought of was to use an e-book reader application. Matthew Miller (tech writer) used MGutenberg on youtube that displayed in portrait mode. Not sure if it would have a FIND feature or kinetic scrolling through continuous pages. I haven't tried it myself, the thought just occurred to me as I typed this.
Thanks.
