Quickoffice comprises three applications (Quickword, Quicksheet and Quickchart), and provides you with powerful mobile document editing and creation.

Quicksheet is compatible with Microsoft Excel; Quickword with Microsoft Word; and Quickchart is an add-on for Quicksheet, enabling charts to be created on the Palm.

Quickoffice enables you to manage your documents on your Palm, offering full editing facilities, with documents being easily transferred from your Palm to your PC, and vice versa.

The stronger of the two major programs is Quicksheet, being a Palm Platinum certified spreadsheet. It offers complete compatibility with Excel on your PC, offering many of the desktop functions, including more than 60 scientific, financial, statistical, date and time, lookup and aggregate functions. Add to this the ability to create charts (with Quickchart) and you have one feature-packed application.

Quickword offers similar functionality with Word, enabling documents to be edited on the move in the popular Palm 'Doc' format - this also means it can be used to read the many electronic books available for the Palm.

When performing a HotSync operation the edited file on your Palm does not replace the original file on your PC. Instead, a separate copy is created within the Quickoffice Desktop, which is a little annoying.
