Chapter
Working With Notes and
Documents
In this chapter, we will give you an overview of two popular and free notepad apps
(AK Notepad and Evernote) that you can install on your DROID because nothing is
preloaded other than a simple sticky-note style Motorola widget. See Chapter 6,
"Organizing Your Home Screens" for more information. Dozens of notepad choices
exist, so it is not possible to cover everything available; therefore, we have chosen two
apps that have a lot of popular support and some great features.
Next, we will look at an easy way to transfer your documents between your computer
and your DROID using handy and free software called DropBox. This app allows you to
drag-and-drop files to a folder on your computer. Next, those files are copied or
synchronized to your web-based DropBox account. Finally, after installing the DropBox
app, you can access those same files on your DROID.
Finally, so many people use Microsoft Office that we will also cover how to open and
edit Word files, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentation files on your DROID.
We will show you two apps in this arena: Quickoffice, which may be pre-installed on the
DROID 2 and DROID X models; and the full version of Documents to Go. Both of these
apps allow you to open, view, create, and edit Office documents.
