Tips • By default, Word Mobile saves documents in .docx format, while Excel Mobile
saves workbooks in .xlsx format. If you want to open these types of files on
a computer that uses Microsoft Office 2000, Office XP, or Office 2003, you
need to download and install the File Format Converter in your computer.
You can find this converter at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.
