Colleagues,
I know you can open Excel and Word files using the Fuze, but can you also edit?

yes............
for word, the format will be a little different, so think of it more as a text editor
it's great to be able to listen to music, browse the web for resources, and type out reports all at the same time (take that, iphone )

i been looking for the same thing.. but on the copy, paste and edit.
there are some in the market just search txt
I like to use jjReader for reading text files.
jjreader is definitely the best!
What text r u planning to read? Bcoz jjreader cant read pdf and microsoft office docs
U can try the app open office in the market which can read microsoft docs
do those app copy and edit?
no editing for the moment :S
... with a search feature. Does it exist?
I'm currently using Text Edit, but it's pretty horrible for large text files, and doesn't have searching. I use Vi sometimes, but that's just a pita.
Anyone know of a free text editor with search capabilities?
I gotta say, vi, though even more vim (the "enhanced" version) is probably one of the very best (if not ABSOLUTELY the best) text editors ever written. Yes, it does have a *VERY* steep learning curve, but when you really get to know it well, there is absolutely no faster or more powerful way of editing text files.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of Vi.
Does anyone know any other alternatives? Perhaps, is there a way to use nano?
Is there *ANY* other way to edit a text document aside from Text Edit and Vi??
documents to go?
quickoffice?

QuickOffice can only open/view files; it cannot edit at all. And Documents to Go is too expensive for my budget. (I only need .txt file editing anyway.)
I guess I should rephrase: Is there ANY other FREE way to edit a text document on the G1 aside from Text Edit and Vi?
Are the text editing options on the G1 really that limited?
Pick your favorite open source console text editor and compile it for arm.

How would I go about this? Any guides on here that explain this?
Yeah give me pico.
This task really isn't for newbs, but here's an idea of what is involved anyways:
http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/
I have done some searching, I cant find a text editor that I like. I would like one that can run with SU privileges so I can modify scripts I keep in /system/sd. If I need to I can remount it so that it would save, that wouldnt be a big deal, I would just like to not have to move them to my sdcard, edit, then move back.
I am also not familiar with linux so vi isnt for me if that would work, just looking for a decent alternative with a GUI if possible.
There used to be a cool app in the market called ptexteditor or something but its gone now
Somebody please compile nano... If I knew how to do it... I would... but I'm too noob for the instructions that were given a few posts back...
ES File explorer
For editing text files you could use ES File explorer. I found I was able to open, edit and save my userinit.sh and user.conf. This is quite enough for me!
Sure enough, it is not able to open /system/sd, but it's ok, because you can copy the files from the terminal. You could even make a simple script that would do it for you..
Until someone compiles nano or vim
I'm bringing this thread back from the dead simply because this thread is the first Google result from XDA for text editors, and the discussion here is the exact one that was going on in my head (around vi and nano). I eventually found 920 Text Editor, which has programmatic syntax highlighting, root mode, and is free:

Thanks,
Ben
also to be considered is this thread about 'nano' the terminal-based editor -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552287
An alterantive to QuickOffice that will allow you to not only read Word & Excel files, but also edit them?
cheers
If you want to pay there is "Documents to Go" its a great app
Second pimp for DocumentsToGo. It's a great app, but remember that within the confines of a small screen, editing large documents/spreadsheets isn't going to be particularly pleasant!

Dave

isn't it true that docs to go does not support .xlsx and .docx?
Version 2.0 does as far as I am aware.

There you go - supports Office 2007 documents :-D

i have v2.000(323) and cannot open windows .xlsx or .docx which are the file extensions for vista/office 2007. what's my problem?
however... when editing the file names to .xls or .doc after saved to sd, files open and are editable. (still not a fluid operation when wanting to quick read an attachment).
Besides ThinkFree, are there any other apps for the I9000 that allow you to create .txt or.doc files?
Mini Diary and Memo seem to be proprietary format apps and I can't see where the files are stored either. Can you transfer/read these files onto your PC?
TIA
Theres a heap of txt editors and notepad apps on market. I never had need to read txt files since i use springpad. I just import txt files via web page. Can't wait for release of desktop app

Thanks icky.
I'm not familiar with Springpad, but is there an outliner app for the I9000, that would be very cool.
I'm using Ecco on my desktop.
Does anyone know a good app I can download view and edit Excel or Word files on? I have tried:
OfficeSuite
E-cell xls
Word To Go
I have attached a copy of the Excel file I am trying to manipulate on the G-Tab. I am able to open, view, and edit the file (well sort of edit). If you view the file file via Excel on you computer you will see it has "check boxes" but I am not able to see them on any of the above mentioned apps. Does anyone know of an app that I can do this with?
The form is being created for use in a physicians' clinic, to help avoid the the clutter of paper and eligible writing.
I was not able to upload (size limit) the Word file I want to be able to edit. But this file is filled with "drop down" menus which do not show up when opened on the G Tab.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dave
That Excel sheet is full of Windows Forms controls. Since those are ActiveX controls I doubt *very* seriously you are going to find any programs on the G Tablet that will allow this file to work correctly. ActiveX, if you aren't familiar with it, is extremely Windows-centric. And at this point, fairly out dated.
