Working with Microsoft Pocket Office

Microsoft Pocket Office makes it easy to work in the familiar Office environ- ment, even when you are away from your desktop or notebook PC. You can start any of the Pocket Office programs by double-tapping the appropriate icon on the desktop or by pressing the appropriate HP hot key. For more detailed information about these programs, see the Microsoft Pocket Office topic in online Help.

Using Microsoft Pocket Word

You can create and edit documents or templates in Pocket Word just as you do in Microsoft Word on your desktop computer. Begin by placing the cursor in the document page and start typing in either Outline or Normal view. A spelling checker is provided to verify spelling accuracy, and you can quickly format text using buttons and menu commands similar to those found in Microsoft Word on your desktop PC. You can access international characters and symbols for currencies from the Tools menu.

Pocket Word allows you to save documents in several file formats so that your files can be opened by other users or other programs. If you transfer documents between your HP Jornada and desktop PC, Windows CE Services automatically converts the files to the appropriate file type. If you send files by e-mail, be sure you save your document in a format that can be opened by the recipient:
