More Programs

In addition to Microsoft Pocket Outlook, there are other programs built into your Pocket PC. This chapter tells you how to use these programs.

5.1 Microsoft ActiveSync

NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your Pocket PC. You need to install ActiveSync on your desktop computer. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see section 1.4.)

When you have established the connection between your Pocket PC and your desktop computer, you can synchronize the information between the two with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example, you can:

Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.

Synchronize email messages in your Pocket PC Inbox with email messages in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.

Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your Pocket PC and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

Back up and restore your Pocket PC data.

Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC and desktop computer.

Add and remove programs on your Pocket PC.
