Docs to go for Palm V?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

Hi,

My mother-in-law has a Palm V and is interesting in being able to view and
edit MS Word and Excel files. I'm aware of Documents to Go but it requires
Palm OS 5 and I belive her Palm V would be OS 3.5.

Is there anyway to get a version of Documents to go that would work is Palm
V? Any other solutions?

Thanks in Advance,

WEB

eBay (and cheap there). Any version of "Documents to Go" through
version 6 will work. You might want to check the clearance bins at
Staples or other office supply stores -- I found a copy of "DataViz
Office," version 6, for $10 at a Staples.

If you don't like eBay, "Documents to Go" is still available at
Amazon.com -- or look around on the Internet.

Thanks for all the replies. She does work on rather large documents so
we'll give it a test before heading out of town.

Thanks again,
