Mobile Doc Viewer

There may arise a time when you have to check office files on the go, and a laptop or similar facility may not be available. So why not utilize the potential of your mobile phone and view that file right in your mobile phone screen?

Viewing MS Office files on Mobile isn't a problem on high end devices such as the Nokia E-Series. These come with QuickOffice pre-installed, that allow office file viewing capabilities right out of the box.

However, for mid-range handsets, those that doesn't run on a specific OS, but supporting Java applications and sporting sufficient memory (Java heap), a memory-efficient third party software is desired.

There are a few DOC file viewers available right now, and most notable of these is DocViewer.


It is published by Zesium Mobile (the same company behind MobilePDF), and offers the ability to open:
- MS Office Word files (.doc)
- MS Office Excel files (.xls)

However, note that the file sizes of the files to be opened are somewhat small. For larger size files, the software may just hang or load the pages really slowly.


Transfer the office files to your mobile phone using bluetooth or the USB cable. Open MobileDoc and navigate to the folder where the files were copied, and open the files. MobileDoc displays the document or spreadsheet file in the most efficient manner with the phone's limited memory and screen size.
