SECTION 6
4 Synchronizing Pocket Word/Pocket Excel
Pocket Word/Excel files can be synchronized with computer Word/Excel files. This
section explains the points to watch out for during synchronization.
Linking with Word
When the synchronization folder is used, files can be synchronized between Pocket
Word on this device and Word on the computer. The points to watch out for during
synchronization are as follows. For details on the synchronization folder, see
Synchronizing Files.
•
When synchronization is executed, Word documents (with the doc extension) on the computer
are converted to Pocket Word data format (with the psw extension). At this time, information
for functions that Pocket Word does not have (for example, double ruled lines for tables) is
dropped out. For details on file compatibility, see the ActiveSync help.
•
If a Pocket Word document is deleted on this device, the same Word document is also deleted
from the synchronization folder on the computer during synchronization. For critical documents,
do not put the original in the synchronization folder; put in a copy instead.
•
If you edit a Pocket Word document on this device, then synchronize, some of the functions
not found in Pocket Word are deleted without being restored in the Word document. For complex
Word documents that use many formats, do not put the original in the synchronization folder;
put in a copy instead.
Linking with Excel
When the synchronization folder is used, files can be synchronized between Pocket
Excel on this device and Excel on the computer. The points to watch out for during
synchronization are as follows. For details on the synchronization folder, see
Synchronizing Files.
•
When synchronization is executed, Excel documents (with the xls extension) on the computer
are converted to Pocket Excel data format (with the pxl extension). At this time, information for
functions that Pocket Excel does not have (for example, macros) is dropped out. For details
on file compatibility, see the ActiveSync help.
•
If a Pocket Excel document is deleted on this device, the same Excel document is also deleted
from the synchronization folder on the computer during synchronization. For critical documents,
do not put the original in the synchronization folder; put in a copy instead.
•
If you edit a Pocket Excel document on this device, then synchronize, some of the functions
not found in Pocket Excel are deleted without being restored in the Excel document. For
complex Excel functions that use many formats, do not put the original in the synchronization
folder; put in a copy instead.
