Available via the menu are options to add or import existing documents on the Palm, delete documents, beam documents, beam DTGPre, go to the display options, and edit DTGPre preferences. The display options allow you to customize the main DTGPre menu. You can choose how documents are sorted, and view the document size (in kilobytes). You also have the option to have DTGPre show documents that have no view. This is handy for file linking, which is used when you want to have a file available for easy synchronizing to your Palm, but not actually have the document on your Palm. Instances where this can be used are when you have limited available memory, or so you can sync via a modem or wireless connection.
Word to Go
After selecting the Word to Go document from the main menu, you are brought to the Word to Go document screen. At the top of the screen are two groups of toggles standard to all word processors: Bold, italic, and underline formatting options along with alignment, number, and bullet drop down toggles. The alignment toggles drops down a list of the 4 standard alignments, however the number and bullet toggles only turn these on and off, more options are available in the menu. At the very bottom of the screen you find the Done button, a button with an "A" linking to the Font screen, a button with a paragraph symbol linking to the Paragraph screen, and another button linking to the find and replace screen. There is also room for the left and right scroll arrows for wide documents.

Menu options available are save, save as, preferences, zoom, standard edit menu with find and replace and find next additions, insert page break and table, font, paragraph, bullets and number formatting, and increase/decrease indent. Word to Go Preferences allow you to include Word to Go in the PalmOS find function, enable hires font viewing, show/hide the edit table controls, enable/disable active text, and confirm or auto-save changes upon exiting Word to Go. The Zoom function allows you to set the display size of text in hires mode; this is because text can appear quite small on screen and be hard to read. Word to Go's font preferences are available via the font button or the font menu item. You can set the font name, size, underlining style, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, super and sub scripting, as well as foreground and background colors. Paragraph options consist of alignment settings, including justification, left and right indenting as well as first line and hanging indents, and line spacing. Bullet and number support includes standard bullet lists and seven different number formats. There are also restart number and continue number options.

New features in Word to Go from DTG include hires fonts, find and replace (instead of just find), table, numbering, and bullet support, as well as justification alignment. Also, pictures are viewable in Word to Go, instead of the pictures being displayed as a placeholder.
Sheet to Go
Sheet to Go is
DTG's answer to support Excel files. Simply launch Sheet to Go and
you arrive at the standard DTGPre menu. Here you select the
spreadsheet file you want to edit and you arrive at Sheet to Go.
The main Sheet to Go window consists of a drop-down at the top right of the screen, a bar graph like button next to that, the done button at the bottom left of the screen, and Fx button and navigational arrows next to the Done button, a go button, and a field with a check mark and an X next to it. The drop-down list at the top of the screen allows you to switch between the different sheets and charts in a spreadsheet. The go button allows you jump to different cells in a spreadsheet either by comments and bookmarks or you can also enter a cell position. The graph like button at the top middle allows you to insert and edit charts in a spreadsheet.
Sheet to Go menu
options include save, save as, recalculate, add/edit bookmarks,
zoom, preferences, the standard edit menu, insert function
/ row /
column/ , format cell/
number/ sheet, sort, unhide all,
and reset view settings. Sheet to Go allows you to include it in the
PalmOS find, via the preferences screen, set auto-calculating for
use with functions, and confirming or auto-saving changes upon exit
of Sheet to Go. Just as in Word to Go, the Zoom option allows you to
set the size of the text in the screen, since the smaller text can
be quite hard to view. Sheet to Go also has support for cell and
sheet formatting and functions. Cell formatting includes basic
alignment settings, bold or regular text, cell locking, and text and
cell color. Number formatting allows you to set rounding options.
Sheet formatting consists of the sheet name, and whether the sheet
is protected or not.
Support for functions in Sheet to Go is pretty good, however you are limited to supported functions. One problem I found with function support is that if you use a spreadsheet which contains an unsupported function, the file is unreadable on the Palm, however it is viewable.
DTGPre also features chart support. Overall this seems pretty good. There are many types of charts available to create and view on the Palm, and it is fairly quick. One drawback however is that you cannot have the chart in the spreadsheet itself; the chart appears as if it is a separate sheet. Chart support does not take advantage of hires.
Pics to Go
Pics to Go is DTGPre's image viewer. Pics to Go allows you to
easily synchronize pictures to your Palm device. Viewing the
pictures on the handheld is pretty simple overall. Just run Pics to
Go from your launcher. This brings you to the DTGPre main menu,
where you can choose the picture you want to view. After you have
chosen the picture to view, the image pops up. Loading the image is
pretty quick when set to "fit to screen" mode. Larger pictures can
also be viewed in actual size, though loading them is a bit slower.
Picture size is toggled by a + or - button at the bottom of the
screen.

Pics to Go does not have hires support and file sizes tend to be a bit larger than a JPEG file, however you can store pictures on external memory cards.
PDF to Go
Documents to Go also includes a PDF converter. This allows you to view PDF files on your Palm. PDF to Go works in conjunction with Word to Go and therefore doesn't support images. When you synchronize a PDF to your Palm, basically it is converted into a Word to Go document. This can be a problem in some cases, as some PDF files don't contain any text; they are essentially one big picture. These type of PDF files cannot be viewed on the Palm.
