9.1 Pocket Word

You can create and edit documents and templates in Pocket Word just as you would do in
Word on your desktop 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 record-
ing. After you close a document and name it, the document is automatically placed in the
Pocket Word document list.
Synchronizing Pocket Word documents
Pocket Word documents can be synchronized with Word documents on your PC. To syn-
chronize files, select the Files type for synchronization in the 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 your Pocket PC Phone in this folder. Please
note that password-protected files cannot be synchronized.
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 Pocket PC Phone, 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 desktop
PC are converted to Pocket Word documents (.psw) and templates (.psw). The conversion
takes place:
During file synchronization.
n
When you copy a Word file from the PC to your Pocket PC Phone.

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.
