Avoiding problems when editing PC documents

By now you have learned what is liable to cause problems

with your documents and what is not. The single most

important thing to remember when making changes to a

document in the Microsoft Word format is that any feature

of the original document that is not supported by the

Documents application is lost when you save the

document on your device. If you cannot see it on your

device, it is not saved.

For example, if the original document contained footers,

they are not displayed while you edit the document and

they will disappear permanently when you save the

document. This is why it is important to remember the

limitations of the Documents application and recognize

the fact that it should not be used for editing long and

complex documents.

Tip: It may be a good idea to save a copy of the

original document in the device’s internal

format and make your changes to that version.

This way, none of the data in the original file is

accidentally lost.

One last thing to keep in mind is the behaviour of tables.

When you save a document in the Microsoft Word 97

format on your device, any tables in it are converted into

bitmap images. This basically means that you need to

recreate the tables on a PC computer if you want to edit

their contents there.
