Add word processor to Xoom

MS Notepad (enabled) By default, Xoom has the ability to act as a Notepad using the default Microsoft notepad text ducuments via the "text editor"
I have set it up on my Xoom, and if you want, here is how to set it up on yours.
Step 1: First you need a file manager ( I use File Manager HD)
Step 2: Create a "Docs" directory in the Home directory (for easy access, I also created a bookmark for my Docs folder)
Step 3: Add the txt file ( in my case i created a master txt file on my external1 sd card that I can copy/paste from via the File Manager as needed when I want to create new txt notepad files since this is a "read only" file on the external sd card, It serves the purpose. But you cant edit/create a note here, so the usable "Notes" folder/file must be located on the internal SD card in the Home directory which can be created via the File Manager)
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/attachments/motorola-xoom-apps/1561d1314747132-how-use-default-notepad-xoom-notedoc1.zip
You will have to unzip the txt file.
Copy txt file to the newly created directory. (be sure to create a txt file master/backup somewhere if you dont create it on the external1 sd)
Done. Now your Xoom has Notepad (editable txt documents) that are fully editable via the default text editor in Xoom.
To Use:
open with Xoom "Text Editor" (click txt file and select to complete action using the text editor)
Click icon top right to "save" and/or "exit" txt file editing/viewing mode
note- using the copy/paste you can rename your txt files to whatever you wish it to be, but this must be done prior to editing/saving your txt file. Though it is possible to do it after the fact, but you will have to copy/paste the edited file in order to be able to change it.

Hi Mark Misz;
The simple answer is no. There are too many difference between the single and dual processor computers to be overcome easily.

  • Most full featured word processor? (table editing, google docs) and webdav on the ipad

    Hi All,
    So I have had a frustrating time trying to add rows to a table in a word processing document on Google Docs. Are there any word processors that support this? Quickoffice and Documents to Go do not as of this writing. (May 26th, 2011.) at least not that I can determine.
    Does Office2HD support this feature? Do any of the word processors?
    My current thoughts/what Apple needs to do/
    Currently I am thinking about buying Pages and then using Goodreader to open the file in pages, and then saving the pages document to idisk/webdav and then moving it to google docs from idisk/webdav using Goodreader (though it appears you can use Readdledocs too.)
    According to the makers of Docsportal, if Pages supported Open With, I could Open With Docsportal and it would be uploaded. Alternatively, Docsportal could simply add idisk or webdav support, but I can understand why they are waiting for Apple to get their act together.
    Currently, I have discovered that Quickoffice does support mounting quickoffice as a drive as does goodreader. Docs2Go does not support this feature. This is a nice way to get files in and out. The Mac will support WebDAV for the Mac filesystem as of Lion allowing programs like goodreader or readdledocs to connect to it.
    --Sam

    I viewed the Office2HD Help file and it seems to support table creation.
    http://www.bytesquared.com/products/office/ipad/basic.asp?product=office2pro#ins ert_table
    I will post back once I am able to edit a table.
    Office2HD as mentioned elsewhere in this forum supports Google Docs.
    It does also support WebDAV (mounting as an external drive.) The help file mentions that it now allows you to navigate using the cursor or arrow keys.

  • HT202879 Other Word Processors than Pages? & why do we have to pay for an upgrade that is incomplete?

    I am very unhappy.
    In order to access my documents from iCloud I have to upgrade to Mavericks (free, alright) and the new Pages, for which I have to pay.
    The new Pages (and Numbers etc) does not have the same functionality as the one I have been using - yet I have to pay for it. Alright, Apple promises to upgrade in the next six months and add the new functionality. This is not good enough.
    This was a very unpleasant surprise today - when I went to my document that I have been working on on my iPhone and my Mac at various times during the day and the Mac one had changed to 'Untitled 47' and the version on my iPhone would not open on my Mac unless I upgraded to the new Pages - $19.99 - and to OSX Mavericks - free - but I don't want to upgrade yet. And I don't want to pay for a new version of Pages that clearly does not have the same functionality(according to the user comments and the apple page that  this discussion is about).
    I have praised Apple to high heaven for the functionality of iCloud. But this really really annoys me.
    If there's anything I hate its a company I am relying on forcing me to upgrade before they've sorted out the bugs.
    I am definitely considering changing to a different company's word processor - if only they had a word processor that I could use on my Mac and iOS devices.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks Tom! Following your advice I posted a (shorter) version at feedback.
    And thanks for those hints. Yes I've been looking at those ones.
    IA Writer and Byword both can use the iCloud.
    Writeroom only syncs using Dropbox.
    Of course they're very minimal apps compared to Pages, or Word.
    I feel very depressed.
    Perhaps I will have to use one of these and then import into Word for final editing.
    Believe it or not, for a minute I thought MS Word might be a contender for iOS syncing - because there is this thing called Office 365. But look at the reviews.
    https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/office-mobile-for-office-365/id541164041
    I really don't want to deal with all the problems of updating to Mavericks just now.

  • What word processor is right for me?

    Hi guys.
    I have done extensive searches on this topic, but still have some unanswered questions.
    First of all, my 1gig black macbook will be arriving some time next week (fingers crossed). I can't wait. As so many people with the intel chips, I now have to chose a proper word processor that will meet my needs. Needless to say, I can't wait until Office 2007 is released!
    Essentially I need to be able to receive word documents and powerpoint presentations from windows machines. I would like to be able to open them and edit them as I please. Also, I need to be able to send them back, open them on a windows machine and print them.
    I am a university student, so I only use word for papers that can occasionally include digital photos, or just pictures from the internet.
    I use powerpoint to look at lecture notes from my professor and need to able to take notes on them i.e. add my own info to the slides.
    I can live without Excel for now. I have seen the recent beta of NeoOffice, that looks like a very good solution. Can I send/receive documents to/from windows machines? My only problem with this solution is that it seems to require close to 400mb. That seems large to me and I would think the program might not be as snappy as I want it to be. Any thoughts?
    I could instal MS Office for macs, but since it doesn't run natively, I am hesitating. What about a program like Papyrus? I have downloaded a trial version and it runs extremely fast. I was not able to find a powerpoint equivalent on there. Is there one?
    Also, what about iWork? I saw that pages is is mainly for publishing and using fancy templates...Is that program more than I need? Keynote of course looks great.
    Any comments are much-appreciated.

    Appleworks has always worked for me since leaving microshaft! I use notta for MS stuff on my computer and in my home. I just went to the recent Pages and like it a lot - appleworks works on my MBP on intel and is quite fast but I am also going to switch over 100% to pages! I am actually in transition. neooffice loads very slow but it it nice. I tried and used to use it but i remember reading that there was support or development issues going on re: not happening or else the actual freeoffice ro whatever the parent app is does not support anythging with neooffice anymore so i stopped using it. I found some stsuff slow in neoooffcie due to it being run in Java.
    If it was to be developed and ssupported more I would probably try using it. be careful of the various builds re: your OS too. i was using a panther build before and that was my introduction.
    I am happy generally with pages. I need something that is as stable as I can get for business stuff.
    Neooffice is somethin if it does take off again that I would consider. but slow load and sosmetimes i type and there is a lag before the characters emerge on the page.

  • Creating word processor gui question

    Hi
    I'm trying to create a word processor gui and I'm new to Java so I'm very new to working with guis. I'm trying to create a menu bar and use Jtextarea so that the user would be able to type in multiple lines of text. I'm completely confused with how to do bc I've been trying and trying but seem to have a problem with my main class and my default constructor. any tips on how to get started?
    my main class looks like this {
    WordProcessorDemo f = new WordProcessorDemo();
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.pack();
    f.setVisible(true);
    f.setSize(800, 600);
    f.setTitle("Word Processor");}
    and it gives me this error msg :
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: illegal component position
         at java.awt.Container.addImpl(Container.java:325)
         at java.awt.Container.add(Container.java:252)

         at wordprocessor.WordProcessorDemo.<init>(WordProcessorDemo.java:62)
         at wordprocessor.WordProcessorDemo.main(WordProcessorDemo.java:18)

    That code is not causing the problem. Look at line 62 in your constructor
    at wordprocessor.WordProcessorDemo.<init>(WordProcessorDemo.java:62)
    You are adding something to a JMenu
    at javax.swing.JMenu.add(JMenu.java:511)

  • Pages: Is there a way to make lines independent, like a real word processor

    There are so many things that infuriate me about Pages. Save As.. missing, autosave, etc which are NOT like 99% of other apps on the Mac.
    Specifially (today):
    I have a letter in Pages. It’s a standard business letter you have see 1m times.
    After the first line of the address, at the top of the letter, I insert a carriage return and BINGO, the tabs in the middle of the letter are suddenly all messed up.
    Grrrrrr.
    Is there a way to make lines independent in Pages? I have this crazy belief that letters are not Web Pages, not HTML, and that an extra line somewhere should not reformat following lines way down the page.
    Alternately, is there some 3rd party word processor that works like the old Apple Works, with graphics and tables you can recommend?
    Thanks

    Save As is still there, hold down the option key as you go to the File menu. This is not Pages, it is Mountain Lion.

    Then you are doing something wrong, probably pounding away at spaces, tabs and returns to position things. Turn on invisibles to see what is going on:
    Menu > View > Show Invisibles
    If you have strings of tabs, spaces and returns that is the problem.
    Is there a way to make lines independent in Pages?
    Yes, hit the return key. Like every other Word Processing program.

    Time to learn Pages. AppleWorks is dead. Stop pining for it. This is a case of user error and instead of blaming Pages, it would pay to find out what you have done and stop doing that.
    Pages, except for the fancy DTP features, tables and charts works like most other Word Processing apps. Just a case of learning new tricks. My guess is you have other stuff going on.

  • How to add words from a JTextField to a JList

    Im working on my final project for Java programming class using JApplet.
    Im trying to create a spelling test/wordfind
    I want to be able to have the user type a word in the JtextField press the "Add" button (Jbutton) and have the word be added to the JList.
    then click the "Start" Button and have the all the words from the JList be put in random stops in a panel and fill around all the words with random letters.
    then when the user clicks on the letter of the words they are finding it will change colors if they click on it again it will change back to its original color.
    So far I have my layout set up its adding the proper Listeners and events to achieve the desired results.
    I know this is way more advanced than what My Instructor is even teacher but I am very interested in Java and want to learn a lot more about it.
    If anyone has suggestions or know where i can find the information Im looking for please let me know.

    Read the first posting titled "Welcome to the new home" to learn how to use code tags. Then you can edit your posting so the code is formatted and readable.
    I want to be able to have the user type a word in the JtextField press the "Add" button (Jbutton) and have the word be added to the JList.Read the JList API and follow the link to the Swing tutoral on "How to Use Lists" where you will find a working example.
    So far I have my layout Actually you haven't. You should learn how to use layout managers. Again the Swing tutorial explains what layout managers are and provides working example of using them.

  • How can i do the word processor's page operations in my java word processor

    Hai,
    I am developing a word processor using Java. It�s workspace is JTextPane. In order to give the page view and do page operation I have assigned one JTextPane per page.
    Generaly in a word processor if the cursor completes a page, a new page will be created and the cursor will be fixed in the starting position of the new page.
    I need to do the same thing in my word processor.
    That is I need to restrict the JTextPane(page) in such a way that the cursor has to be always inside the JtextPane. It means that the JTextPane (page) should not increase it�s size whenever the cursor goes out of it�s size. Instead a new JTextPane(page) can be created and the cursor can be fixed in starting position of the new JTextPane.
    Thing is that a text component can be added with or without the JScrollPane. In the first case both the scroll bar and the cursor will appear if it goes out of the text component�s rage. In the second case neither scroll bar nor cursor will appear. So these two will not help me.
    How can I do this in my word processor?
    I will be grateful to you if you send some suggestion.
    With regards,
    K. Saran

    Hi,
    this is not an answer to our question, sorry.
    I'm fairly new to Java but is working on a projec similar to yours. I always use other code to learn how new parts of java works. Haven't been able to find any examples of initializing JTextPanes though. Any chance of you posting some here?
    Would be much appriciated.
    Alternatively: do u know a site where u can find such examples??
    Kind Regards

  • Looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't cut it

    I'm looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't work. In text edit, it automatically scoots my text over to the next line but I just want it to keep going with a horizontal scrollbar. Is there a text editor I can download from the app store or can I get textedit to work somehow where it uses a horizontal scroll bar instead of entering text to the next line?

    Hi,
    thought TextWrangler can do it.
    But it seems that the 'no word-wrap' "feature" isn't that much wanted anymore.
    Maybe one of these http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/text%20editor can do it.

  • How do I open MS Office 2000 Word Processor on iMac

    Used to use Microsoft 2000 Word Processor on Dell Laptop.  My iMac is 2 weeks old and documents have successfully been transferred from the Dell to Mac via Maxtor external hard drive.   How can I open the Word Processing documents - NOT to use, but to read. WPS is the extension. There is plenty of discussion on MS Word, but not MS Word Processor

    Just quick view from finder .
    Simply locate folder and file within finder window .
    Right click and choose open with quick view
    Or download

    this handles .wps documents and you can convert them to a more universal extension such as .rtd or .doc

  • I cannot copy and paste from email to word processor in microsoft 7, not Office

    why can I not copy and paste from Yahoo email into Microsoft 7 word processor. I don't have Office. I used to do this all the time using Control C to copy and Control V to paste but recently AT&T installed Firefox and I think that's when the trouble started

    There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
    What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
    * Ctrl+v
    * right-click > Paste
    * Edit > Paste (from the menu)
    Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.
