Having just finished polishing my Honda Civic Type R for an upcoming trackday, figured my aches and pains couls be soothed by a quick installation of Quick Office Primer. Wrong!

Initial view is this thing is HUGE, I had to dig through the NX to delete stuff just to leave some plave. Snaaper qets installed as well, but the wrong version, ie not the latest.... well couple of hours later, this is the result,

For.

Very cool handling of native docs. Emailing works OK and the handover is good. (See below)
Real Hi Res icons throughout the app, very nice.
Very good zooming etc.
Spreadsheets OK but some functions missing. Most can be worked around.

Against
Gigantic app
Snapper handoff can cause fatel resets. (had three on a row)
Need to save attachment to MS before opening. This works fine.
Powerpoint files are unreadable, this may be due to our corporate image settings, will try something else.
Good word handling, table of contents etc.

All in all I am seriously thinking about buying this stuff, although the combination of QO and Snapper is a bit expensive, the current Clie Mail and Documents to Go do not handle native files as attachments, and I have noticed that QO handlinfg is often better.

I have not finished the trails, but it is looking pretty good.
