Office 2000 and Office XP HTML Support

Due to the minimal DHTML support on Pocket Internet Explorer, some Microsoft Office 2000 and Microsoft Office XP documents, when saved as HTML, are not displayed correctly.

As a rule, Microsoft Word documents saved as HTML retain much of their formatting when viewed in Pocket Internet Explorer. Many basic Microsoft Excel spreadsheets are also displayed well. However, Microsoft Access data access pages and Microsoft PowerPoint® HTML presentations can be more problematic.

When you're writing pages for Pocket Internet Explorer by using Office, Microsoft FrontPage® generally gives you the best results. Word documents saved as HTML contain a large amount of extra content that supports the extensive formatting options in Word, while pages written in FrontPage are often smaller and faster to download.

Microsoft Visual InterDev® and Microsoft ASP.NET mobile controls are also excellent tools for developing online content for mobile devices.
