9.1 Pocket Word
You can create and edit documents and templates in Microsoft Pocket Word just as you would
do in Microsoft Word on your PC. Pocket Word documents can be saved as .psw , .doc , .rtf,
or .txt files.
You can enter information in a document by typing , writing , drawing , or recording . After you
close a document and name it, the document is automatically placed in the Pocket Word docu-
ment list.
Synchronizing Pocket Word documents
Pocket Word documents can be synchronized with Word documents on your PC. To synchronize
files, select the Files type for synchronization in ActiveSync Options settings on your PC. When
you select Files , a \My Documents folder is created on your PC’s desktop. Place all the files
you want to synchronize with the device in this folder. Please note that password-protected files
cannot be synchronized.
All
Pocket Word files that are stored in \ My Documents and its subfolders are synchronized
with the PC. ActiveSync will convert the documents during synchronization.
When you delete a file on your PC or your device, the file will be deleted in the other location
the next time you synchronize.
For more information on synchronization, or file conversion, see
ActiveSync Help on the PC.
Document conversion
The Word documents (.doc) and templates (.dot) , created in Word 6.0 or later on the PC, are
converted to Pocket Word documents (.psw) and templates (.psw) . The conversion takes place
during the following:
n During file synchronization.
n When you copy a Word file from the PC to your T-Mobile MDA III.
n When you open an E-mail message with an attached Word file on your device.
Pocket Word documents are converted to Word documents when they are synchronized or
copied back to the PC. During the conversion from Word to Pocket Word , most simple text
and paragraph formatting will be retained and displayed, but some formatting attributes could
be changed or lost.
