Chapter 5:
Microsoft Office Companion Programs
The Microsoft Office companion programs consist of Microsoft Pocket Word,
Microsoft Pocket Excel, Microsoft Pocket Access, and Microsoft Pocket
PowerPoint. These programs work with the Windows versions of the same
programs on your desktop computer to give you easy access to up-to-date copies
of your documents. You can create or edit Excel and Word files, PowerPoint
presentation notes, and Access databases and tables on your device. Word and
Excel templates are available to help you quickly create documents. Once you
have created or edited a document, synchronize it with your desktop computer to
copy the new document, or changes you've made to the existing document, to your
desktop computer. For more information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help
on the desktop computer.
You can access the Office companion programs by selecting Start, Programs,
Office, and then the program you want to open.
Tip: More information on the procedures described in this chapter, as
well as information on additional procedures, can be found in online
Help on the device. Select Start, Help, and then the program you want
information on. Because programs work in similar ways to their
counterparts on the desktop computer, online Help covers basic
procedures and the differences between the companion programs and
desktop programs. If you need more information on using an Office
program, see the documentation that came with the desktop version of
the program.
Pocket Word: Creating Documents
You can use Pocket Word to create documents, such as letters, meeting minutes,
and trip reports. You can also use Pocket Word to open and edit documents
created in the desktop version of Word. When you are ready to save a document
you created or edited, you can save it in a variety of formats, including Pocket
Word (.pwd) and Word (.doc). If you plan to send the document through e-mail to
someone who will be using Word, not Pocket Word, be sure to save it in the Word
(.doc) format.
To type text in Pocket Word, tap or click the screen to place the insertion point and
start typing. Use the spelling checker to verify accuracy. You can quickly format the
text, using buttons and menu commands. You can format as you go or apply
formatting later.
