8.1FILE VIEWER APPLICATIONS

8.1.1FILE VIEWER APPLICATION LIMITATIONS

The Microsoft file viewers do not provide all of the functionality that is available in their corresponding Windows desktop applications. Typically these limitations result in a different document layout or presentation; however, in some cases, document content may not be visible.

General Limitations

There is no support for files created in versions of Microsoft Office earlier than Office 97. There is also no support for the Microsoft Visual Basic macro programming language.

If sufficient memory for temporary file storage is not available on a Windows CE-based device, very large documents or documents that contain large graphical elements may not open, or may not display all of the content.

Font recommendations

Windows CE does not provide the same set of fonts that is available on Windows-based desktop operating systems. If the original font used in a document is not available, the file viewers show the closest possible approximation of the original format.

The following list shows fonts that you should include in your OS design for optimal performance with the file viewers:

•Arial

•Arial Italic

•Tahoma (in standard Installation from Windows CE)

•Times New Roman

•Times New Roman Italic

•Courier New (in standard Installation from Windows CE)

•Symbol

•Wingding

The listed fonts are included in the OS-directory and must be copied to the Windows directory at the startup of the device. After that the fonts are accessible for the system.

Example code for autoexec.bat file:

Copy \StorageCard\Os\*.ttf\Windows\*.ttf
