Office² turns the iPhone or iPod Touch into a professional word processor and spreadsheet editor, allowing you to easily view, create and edit Microsoft Word (.doc) files and Microsoft Excel (.xls) workbooks.

Editing documents
Editing a document on the iPhone or iPod Touch with Office² is amazingly easy. Office² conveniently wraps the text
in a document so that it neatly fits the screen size of the device. Advanced editing features may all be easily accessed through the
unique scrollable menu toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
Select text by double tapping, or select a paragraph by triple tapping. Then open the format menu (see the picture to the left) and
apply the appropriate character formatting. Choose from:
- Bold, italic and underline character formatting
- Font face and size options
- Text color and background color
Office² also provides advanced paragraph formatting, including:
- Left, center, right and distributed paragraph alignment
- Paragraph indenting
- Bullets and numbering

Tables
Office² supports the use of tables, making it possible to edit existing tables and create new ones. It integrates with
Sheet², allowing you to select a range of cells in a spreadsheet stored in Sheet² and then paste them into Office² as a table.
Inline pictures
Office² lets you insert pictures into your document. You can either copy a picture from a web page using Safari and paste
it into your document, or you can insert a picture from the Photo app.
Copying and pasting
Office² uses the standard iPhone copy and paste architecture. Text may be copied from one part of the document and pasted
to another. Alternatively, text may be copied from another application, which supports copying and pasting, and then pasted into
Office².
Accessing documents in the cloud
Office² lets you transfer documents to and from your MobileMe iDisk, and will let you open and view documents
stored on the iDisk. You can also create folders and organize your files by moving or copying them between the folder structure of
your iDisk.
Additionally Office² will let you open and view the documents stored in your Google Docs account. You can create folders
directly within your Google Docs space and you can transfer documents to and from the Google Docs account.

SPREADSHEET FEATURES
Office² provides all the features you need to create a professional looking spreadsheet. It features a standard grid, which may be scrolled and zoomed.
Text, numeric or date values or formulas may be entered into the selected cell through the formula bar at the top of the screen.
Cell Formatting
Cells may be formatted using the format pages, which let you specify the font style, borders, text and background colors, the size of cells and text alignment within the cells.
Cells may be set to a specific type, so that they may be displayed appropriately. By default, each cell is of type General. This means that the way the cell is
displayed is automatically determined. If you wish to change the way certain cells are displayed you can do so using the Cell Type page.
When a type is selected, the user is presented with additional options for formatting the selected cells.
For example, if the Number type is selected, the user
may also choose the number of decimal places to show, how to display negative numbers and whether or not to use the 1000 separator, when displaying larger numbers.
The following cell types are supported:
- General
- Number
- Currency
- Percentage
- Date
- Time
- Text
Multiple Worksheets
Office² provides support for multiple sheets within a workbook. When you press the worksheet button, worksheets are presented in a horizontally scrollable page, allowing you to quickly flick between all the worksheets in the workbook.
A worksheet may be selected simply by tapping on it. You can create new worksheets and delete or rename existing worksheets.
You can also create cross-sheet formulas and copy and paste between sheets.
Searching and Sorting
Office² provides the ability to search the worksheet for any phrase, number or other text, letting you easily scroll between search results. It is also
possible to sort a range of cells by any row or column.
Import/Export
Spreadsheets may be transferred onto and off the phone, over a wi-fi network, using Windows Explorer (on a PC) or Finder (on a MAC) or any web browser. Spreadsheets
may also be emailed, as attachments, from within the Office² application. Office² exports all workbooks in XLS format. It can import workbooks in either
XLS format, XML Spreadsheet format or CSV format. It is compatible with the following desktop spreadsheet applications:
- Excel 97 for Windows
- Excel 2000 for Windows
- Excel 2002 for Windows
- Excel 2003 for Windows
- Excel 2007 for Windows
|
- Excel X for MAC
- Excel 11.0 for MAC
- Excel 12.0 for MAC
- NeoOffice v2
- NeoOffice v3

Integration with Google Docs and iDisk
Office² can access spreadsheet files stored in Google Docs, MobileMe iDisk and other WebDAV-based servers. By simply
entering the user credentials for the relevant service, you can turn on the ability to access files in these remote folders.
Office² will let you copy or move spreadsheet files to and from Google Docs and iDisk folders and the iPhone local storage.
Alternatively, you can directly open and edit spreadsheet files in these remote folders. Changes that you make may then be saved
directly back to the remote spreadsheet file. Office² also enables you to create folders in either Google Docs or iDisk and
move files between these folders.
Unlike the wi-fi import/export function, a wi-fi connection is not necessary. You can access
spreadsheets in Google Docs and iDisk straight over the 3G cellular network. iPod Touch devices, however, will need a wi-fi connection, giving them access to the Internet.
