Summary: Print Word Documents Directly to IR Capable Printers
Review: As a heavy word processing user on my Palm via Documents to Go (please see my reviews for Docs To Go 3.0 elsewhere on Amazon), I was happy to upgrade to the newest version, 4.0, as soon as it came out.

I was even happier to discover (after visiting the DataViz website) that accessory programs -- Docs To Print and IR Print, both available from doctoprint.irprint.com -- would enable me to print MS Word documents from my Palm directly to any number of IR (infrared) capable printers from HP, Canon and Sipix (with no PC or cables necessary).

I now own a HP DeskJet 990Cse, Canon BJC-55 and Sipix A6 printer, all of which allow me to print directly from my Palm, the latter two of which are portable.

I carry the little Sipix A6 printer (which uses A6 size thermal paper) in my briefcase. I take the Canon BJC-55 (ink jet, letter size) printer with me on business trips. And I've placed a second HP DeskJet 990Cse printer elsewhere in my house where I print from my Palm -- without the use of a PC.

As we all know, with its relatively small screen, performing word processing on one's Palm can sometimes be difficult. Being able to print a hard copy -- anywhere you might need it -- is thus truly a godsend.

With Docs To Go 4.0 (and Docs To Print and IR Print), and with the IR capable printers listed above, I can now word process -- and print -- anywhere in my house (or the world) from my Palm. (No PC required.)

Isn't life wonderful?

Summary: Extremely Satisfied
Review: Documents to go is everything I hoped it would be. It allows you to view and edit Word, Excel and Power Point applications on your Palm Device. Syncing with the desktop is simple and the application is easy to use. I highly recommend this product.

Summary: The most useful PDA tool I have
Review: Documents To Go is great! I've used it to create new Word documents at seminars to share with other users at my office, edit spreadsheets on the go and now it supports PowerPoint as well. I have used this program more then any of the other applications I have on my Visor handheld.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Useful utility
Review: This is an essential add-on for the palm. The main reason I need it is to convert Word and Excel spreadsheets so that they are readable on the palm. Keep in mind, you will need to have a good document reader and spreadsheet reader program to read the documents. The sheetview program that comes with the CD is fine for reading, but you can't edit spreadsheets with it. For that you will need to get something like Tiny Sheet.

Summary: Makes your PDA useful.
Review: This software renders your Palm Pilot far more useful. You can deal with text documents and spreadsheets on your PDA with this.

A must have item.

Summary: Not up to snuff anymore
Review: This was the coolest thing I loaded on my Palm after I first got it from amazon. But I later discovered that far better solutions exist on the market from other companys like bluenomad software and cutting edge software. Since my copy was free, it wasn't bad, but noone should spend any money on this product when such great alternatives as quickoffice and wordsmith are available for much less money and have much better features. There is no real formatting in the word processor, you can't set the font, the spreadsheet frequently looses information, and stuff.
But for first time users, it is a nice way to see what the Palm can do I think.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Upgraded to latest Documents to Go 4 including Add-on kit last week. Have always been impressed with the main product, but the add-on kit is excellent. The mail sync (we use Lotus Notes) and the handling of attachments on my Palm M505 is the best I have tried - smooth, reliable, hassle free, straightforward to use.

Review: Will you be making a version to go on the Jonarda 720 hand helds? I had it on my palms and loved it.

Summary: I'm very impressed!
Review: WOW - I just bought version 4 of Documents To Go and I'm very impressed with the functionality! The word processing application (Word To Go) is powerful and the formatting toolbar replicates that of Word on my computer for bold, italic, underline, color, etc. Excel support has really been beefed up too - now you can edit and add formulas (and watch them recalculate) to spreadsheets on the handheld in Sheet To Go, in addition to all of the regular editing you might do. My favorite part is the support for PowerPoint in their Slideshow To Go application. Now I can review my slides before giving presentations for work. Two thumbs up, DataViz!
