Nokia 9300i Creating a new document

Creating a new document

This chapter discusses how to write new text documents

with your Nokia 9300i. The topic is also covered in the

Documents chapter of the Nokia 9300i User Guide. This

chapter does not repeat the material in the User Guide,

instead offering some suggestions about effective

working practices.

Before you start writing a new text document, it is a good

idea to consider the different file formats that your device

offers. Your choice should be determined by the future use

of the document.

If the document will only be used on your device

(including printing it out or sending it by fax or e-mail), it

is most convenient to use the device’s internal format.

This format is called epoc/app in the Save as menu of the

Documents application; in this guide, it is referred to as

the internal format.

Note: When you send a document via fax, you

may notice that some of its formatting or

other features are not visible on the Fax

message screen where you select the recipient.

This is normal: fax messages do not support all

features that can be used in text documents.

Because it was specifically designed for your device, the

internal format works faster than the other formats and,

of course, raises no compatibility issues.

If you know that the document will be transferred to a PC

at some point and edited there, you should consider the

Microsoft Word 97 format. It lets you edit the document

later in Microsoft Word and compatible applications and

keep the text formatting and embedded objects you used

on your device. However, there are some limitations to this

format which you should be aware of; they are discussed

in the following chapters.
