9.1 Pocket Word

You can create and edit documents and templates in Pocket Word just as you would do in Word on your 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 recording. 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 synchronize files, select the Files type for synchronization in 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 the device in this folder. Please note that password-protected files cannot be synchronized.

All 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 device, 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 PC, are converted to Pocket Word documents (.psw) and templates (.psw). The conversion takes place during the following:

nDuring file synchronization.

nWhen you copy a Word file from the PC to your Pocket PC Phone.

nWhen you open an E-mail message with an attached Word file on your device.
