Can WindowsCE use an Office 2007 or 2010

Post by ABabeNChrist »

Can WindowsCE use an Office 2007 or 2010 in the same way as other operating systems (XP, Vista, 7)
I was asked this question and do not have a clue. I searched around and was unable to find a real answer

Not the standard version. Microsoft has a special version of Office for Windows Mobile (the current incarnation of Windows CE): Microsoft Office Mobile.
Best wishes,

Thank you Hans
I noticed that it mentioned that it is compatible with Microsoft Excel, and can create, open, edit, and save in Microsoft's '.xls' spreadsheet format. Excel Mobile allows for formatting of cells, basic calculations of formulas, and the creation of charts or graphs. It appears to be very limited because I seen no mention of xlsx or even xlsm.

Office Mobile 2007 and 2010 can open .xlsx and .xlsm, but don't run VBA - see the earlier thread Can a PDA run a .xlsm.
Best wishes,
Hans
