7.12.8 Sharing Documents With Your PC

Documents created on a PC are recognized by your WORKABOUT PRO. However, some formatting is lost when ActiveSync converts a Word document to a Pocket Word document. This loss also occurs when you open a .doc file and change it on the WORKBOUT PRO.

For example, suppose your .doc file has a table. Pocket Word cannot display tables–these are displayed as tabbed text. If you close the file without making any changes, the table will be preserved when you copy it back to your PC. However, if you make the slightest change to the table, you’ll be prompted to save the file either in Desktop Word or Pocket Word format. Even if you choose Desktop, when you open the document on your PC, the table formatting will be lost.

Important: To avoid translation problems, you can work on copies of .doc files. In addition, keep in mind that you can use the Terminal Ser- vices Client program to log onto a desktop PC that is also running Terminal Services, and then you can use any program on your PC, including Microsoft Word (rather than Pocket Word). Refer to “Terminal Services Client” on page 245 for details.
