What's New for 2.0
RepliGo Viewer for Windows

 



Introduction (top)

RepliGo™ represents a breakthrough in document conversion technology and mobility. In a matter of seconds, virtually any document you have on your PC can be transferred to your Microsoft® Smartphone while maintaining the document’s original look and feel. This includes Microsoft® Office documents, Adobe® PDF files, Web pages and hundreds of other formats. Once on your Microsoft® Smartphone, documents can easily be viewed using the supplied RepliGo Viewer.

RepliGo offers two methods of converting your documents.

1.
RepliGo Menu and Toolbar: This allows you to use the RepliGo menu and toolbar buttons within Microsoft® Office applications to quickly convert Office files. A toolbar button for converting Web pages with Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 or above is also included.
2.
RepliGo Printer: Use the File > Print command in your application to “print” to the RepliGo Printer for conversion.
These operations are discussed in greater detail later in this guide.

Once the document has been converted on your desktop computer, it can then be synchronized with your Microsoft® Smartphone and viewed using the RepliGo Viewer.

Document Conversion (top)

Converting Microsoft® Office documents

RepliGo is tuned to convert Microsoft® Office documents in an intelligent and innovative manner. To make working with and reading these documents a pleasant experience on handheld devices, RepliGo provides toolbar button add-in for Microsoft® Word, Excel and PowerPoint® which not only simplifies the conversion process, but allows it to optimize the document translation from these applications. For Office 2000, XP, and 2003, the toolbar allows such features as hyperlinks and bookmarks to be recognized in the original document and translated to the RepliGo version.

After installing RepliGo and choosing to include the Microsoft® Office Integration during the installation, you must agree to accept the RepliGo macro to allow for the application integration. (See Figure 7). This dialog is displayed the next time you start Microsoft® Word, Excel, or PowerPoint® depending on your macro security settings.

 



Figure 7: The Macro Security Warning dialog

Click the Always trust macros from this source checkbox and then click Enable Macros. This screen verifies that you are trusting the source of the macro and it can be installed on your desktop computer. You will not see this dialog again once you have enabled the macro.

By choosing to include the Microsoft® Office Integration during the installation and enabling the RepliGo macro, the installer also inserts the RepliGo menu (See Figure 8) into Microsoft® Word, Excel, and PowerPoint® if those applications are present on the desktop computer.





Figure 8: The RepliGo Menu inside Microsoft® Office applications

Additionally, the RepliGo toolbar (See Figure 9) is installed for quick conversion of your document with the current settings. A convenient button launches the RepliGo Desktop Window for access to important information, program settings, links to technical support, documentation, demos, uninstall, and the ReadMe file. (Some links require a live Internet connection to access).

Conversion steps

1.
Open an existing Microsoft® Office document.
2.
On the menu bar, choose RepliGo > Convert Document...
3.

Use the Convert Document dialog to name the document and to Browse to the desired location to save your RepliGo documents to your desktop computer so it can be manually moved later to your Microsoft® Smartphone (See Figure 10). Click on the Browse... button to specify a specific location to save the file to on your device including the Storage Card.

Click the Options button to set additional settings. These include showing a notification message once the conversion is complete, as well as an option to save an additional copy of the RepliGo converted document to a location on your desktop PC.

Converting Web pages from Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 or above

RepliGo installs the Microsoft® Internet Explorer integrated toolbar button if the checkbox for that option is checked during installation. The button is added to the toolbar inside Internet Explorer and gives you quick and easy access to converting Web pages and sending the file down to your Microsoft® Smartphone.

Hyperlinks

RepliGo keeps hyperlinks from web pages, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files intact. (See Figure 27). This means you will be prompted to allow for the device's default browser or email client to launch and attempt to connect to the specified URL or send email if it is an email link.

To activate a hyperlink, open the document in the viewer, choose Menu > Go to > Hyperlink. Use the D-pad to navigate to the hyperlinks on the page and use the Action button to choose the link. A confirmation screen will appear asking if you would like to follow the hyperlink.

RepliGo recognizes internal or "named anchor" links within the same document and jumps to the appropriate location specified by the internal link.

*Notes:
1. Image maps (images with hyperlinks) in Word are not recognized.
2. RepliGo does not provide a live connection to the Internet.
3. You must use the RepliGo integrated toolbar button inside Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for hyperlinks to be converted and recognized.
4. "mailto:" links are converted and recognized as email links and the Viewer will attempt to launch the default email client.
