I suppose it's a bit like Word Mobile; not everything that's in MS Office
for Windows 2000/XP/Vista is also in the Mobile version. For example, from
Wikipedia's entry for Word Mobile: "Footnotes, endnotes, headers, footers,
page breaks, certain indentation of lists, and certain fonts, while not
displayed nor able to be inserted while working on a document in Word
Mobile, such features are retained if the original document has them." Also,
according to Microsoft, the functionality available in Mobile Office varies
from device to device.
