SVGA, WSVGA and XGA displays for Office 2003 and 2007
I am looking to procure ruggedised hardware for a field data collection
project. This hardware will need to run standard Microsoft Office applications for data transfer to desktop teams. I have identified a product which is perfect in terms of user configuration and exceeds all of the official MS listed requirements for Office 2007 - aside from the display. If it aids your response, the product that I am investigating is the Panasonic Toughbook CF-U1. The product's display is WSVGA (1024 x 600) whereas the MS minimum specification provided for Office 2007 is XGA (1024 x 768). Can anyone confirm that there will be an issue running Office 2007. Office 2003 has a minimum specification of SVGA (800 x 600) - would it be recommended that this version would be better suited to the WSVGA display? I have emailed the MS Customer Helpdesk and they suggested that I post in a Dsicussion Group. Best regards, Andrew Everett |

Best regards, Andrew Everett Since it is a Panasonic toughbook, I would recommend contacting Panasonic to inquire about the possible issue. If you can get assurances from that company that the product will work appropriately and then it doesn't you should have less problem returning the hardware. Panasonic's phone number is 1.800.662.3537 and on their brochure they even state to "Please consult your reseller or Panasonic representative before purchasing." |

Perhaps I should have stated that I am in the UK, but I didn't think that it had a bearing on the potential compatibility issues. Taking your suggestion on board, I called a local Panasonic support number and after a few transfers ended up speaking to an Engineer who is going to install the discussed software to test for issues. Cheers, Andrew |
