Chapter 6: Connecting netpad To A PC

Copying A File Using Copy And Paste

If necessary, the file is converted into the correct PC format. The file can be used in the same way as any other file on your PC.

6.4.3 Copying A File Using Copy And Paste

Using Windows Explorer, you can copy files between your PC and netpad in the same way you would copy files to a floppy disk, or another PC on a network. ActiveSync can convert files as they are copied so that you can open them on the other computer immediately.

Within Windows, clicking the right mouse button often displays a context-sensitive (pop-up) menu – a range of commands relevant to the object that you right-click on. In Explorer, you can use these menus to copy files between folders, regardless of whether they are on the PC or the netpad.

1.Open Windows Explorer.

2.Navigate to, and expand, the Mobile Device branch of the folder list. Find the folder that contains the file you wish to copy to the PC and click on it so that its contents are shown in the right-hand pane of the Explorer window.

3.Right-click on the file and select Copy from the pop-up menu that appears.

4.Navigate to the folder you want to copy this file to, and select it, so that its contents (if any) appear in the right-hand pane of the Explorer window. Right-click in the right-hand pane of the Explorer window, and select Paste from the pop-up menu.
