It can edit the files, as well as format text font, color, size, and style, and has other features common to office suite software. The Premium edition can open and create Excel charts. The Slideshow To Go component can open native PowerPoint files, as well as those converted to its own format.

The desktop tool automatically compares the desktop version of a file stored on the user's computer and the handheld version of the file. If they do not match, it applies changes made on one version to the other version, transferring the document to or from the device's memory.
