Synchronization Action and Backup Copies
This section describes how the synchronization actually works. For purposes of illustration, let’s assume that you have a document on your desktop called “Poetic License.” When WordSmith synchronizes Poetic License to your organizer, nothing happens to the copy of Poetic License on your desktop. Poetic License will only be altered on your desktop if you edit and save Poetic License on your organizer and then synchronize the revised doc back to your desktop. At this point, WordSmith will create the following 2 files on your desktop:
•Poetic License.doc (or Poetic License.rtf, if you are a Macintosh user)
