I'm a WinMo user who's now thinking about a new phone, and I have to admit that I am pretty disappointed with Office for Windows Phone, especially taking into consideration that there is a fully funtional Office Version for Windows RT. Either Microsoft releases a Version of Office Mobile including at least the features available in WinMo, or Android with Office from Softmaker offers more functionalities and will be my choice.

Can anyone help? When I sync a Power Point slideshow using (Office 2007), to my Windows Phone, the Phone only shows the text on the slide and ignores the video that is also there.

It does not have a "Run" button etc. Please can any one advice.

Kind regards.

I agree with Rasmus - zooming in Word doesn't work particularly well when tables are being used - any attempt to pinch to zoom out results in the document automatically zooming in again when the gesture is released.

Also,when using skydrive formatting and files are often changed and completely messed up, at times. I opened a cash-flow spreadsheet in excel mobile, which I had created using excel on my pc, and uploaded to skydrive. After making some changes to a few cells; that is adding in some dollar amounts for income, I save it. Later, when I opened it in skydrive on my pc, the top 8 rows were missing, and the formatting had completely changed. It's definitely in beta!

I recently bought a new Nokia 920, and love the phone because of it's great build, durability, and the ability to use with gloves on--I live in Wisconsin and operate a farm, so this was the biggest selling point. I have used an iphone for several years, and relied on Numbers for much of my data, so that I could carry it with me to my several different farm locations. I have to admit, that I didn't realize just how far Apple has come with Numbers on mobile devices, until I switched to using excel on WM8.

The features available on numbers and their refinement for touchscreen mobile devices are so much better than your current version of excel. For instance, you can create popup menus, sliders, steppers, and check boxes in cells. You can move cells, columns or rows by touching, holding, drag and drop. You can format cells and fonts in more than 3 colors. You can open and edit just about any spreadsheet you throw at it, including some extensive ones that I have developed in excel on my pc. Yes, format porting can be an issue, but Apple keeps improving it.

With your new version of excel mobile, I can't edit most of my spreadsheets, even those I created in excel on my pc. Why bother? You guys have a lot of work to do just to catch up with Apple. If my Nokia wasn't such a well designed phone I'd be switching back in heartbeat.

Very nice, but please fix this one glaring omission: there seems to be no way to zoom out properly in Word for Mobile. That makes for very awkward navigation and handling of all but the very simplest of Word documents.

I'm really impressed that the new table features in Excel 2010 also work in the web app. What I was slightly less impressed with was that when I set up a table I can't then input data to that table on my phone. Is this something that will work in a future release?

Considering switching to a Windows Phone?

I often get people who ask me the difference between Windows Phone and iPhone. Many people already know
