Documents to Go

Another option for editing Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files is Documents to Go. This app ships with some devices, so check to see if you already have it installed. You can use the free version of the app to view documents or the US $14.99 paid app to edit them. The paid version also includes PDF support. I recommend trying the free version first, to make sure it is compatible with your tablet and displays your documents correctly.

You can also use Documents to Go to edit items you’ve uploaded to Google Docs. Connect the app to your Google account by tapping the appropriate button (see Figure 18–8), and you can browse through items on Google Docs whenever your tablet is connected to the Internet.
