Pocket Word

Pocket Word works with Microsoft Word on the desktop computer to give you access to
copies of your documents. You can create new documents on the terminal, or copy
documents from the desktop computer to the terminal. Synchronize documents between
the desktop computer and the terminal so that you have the most up-to-date information in
both locations.
To create a new document in Pocket Word, such as a letter, meeting minutes, or a trip
report, tap Start - Programs - Pocket Word, then New. A blank document appears. Or, if
you've selected a template for new documents in the Options dialog box, that template
appears with appropriate formatting applied. You can open only one document at a time;
when you open a second document, you'll be asked to save the first. You can save a
document in a variety of formats, including Word (.doc), Pocket Word (.psw), Rich Text
Format (.rtf), and Plain Text (.txt).
