Thanks for the info. I have also tried several and they all have the basic fuctions which are all I will ever use on my mobile devices. I usually just need something that will open and view a file.The Office Suite seems to do all of the various formats but I am finding that figureing out where the basic features are hidden takes a little hunting. Some of the others have toolbars that make it easier for dummies like me. Kingsoft is a free app which on the surface seems to be pretty straightforward but it doesn't do PowerPoint which I need to view on occasion, so I need to keep one of the others. Office Suite does PowerPoint so I'll hang on to it. For Excel and Word,I have it, Docs to Go (being an old Palm user ), and Quickoffice on my phone and Nexus. I find (annoyingly) that each of them has one or two things that they do better than the others, but none of them put it all together.
I only bought DtG, got the other two from Amazon as FAtD's, so it's not really a big deal. If I hadn't got the other two free I would have probably stuck with DtG for no other reason than I've been using some form of it forever.
I don't think there are any great mobile solutions for document creation, but with a wireless mouse and keyboard editing existing content is pretty easy on the Nexus. I've used a Microsoft Wireless 800 (kybd, mouse, and mini transceiver with an OTG cable) set-up a few times and it works well.

Kingsoft seems like it would be easier to navigate.
By the way, on a different note, PicSay Pro showed up as a 25 cent option on the Play Store today and may not stay there for long, Office Suite already expired. I have used the free version for a while and it is handy for annotating screen shots for presentations as well as playing around with photos.
Correction - Kingsoft does do PowerPoint, I overlooked it because it opened A PDF when I went into that mode and I didn't realize I could create a new presentation. One more plus for Kingsoft.
