Pocket Word
Pocket Word works with Microsoft Word on your desktop computer to give you easy access to
copies of your documents. You can create new documents on your Pocket PC, or you can copy
documents from your desktop computer to your Pocket PC. Synchronize documents between your
desktop computer and your Pocket PC so that you have the most up-to-date content in both
locations.
Use Pocket Word to create documents, such as letters, meeting minutes, and trip reports. To create
a new file, tap
, Programs, Pocket Word, and then New. A blank document appears. Or, if
you’ve selected a template for new documents in the Options dialog box, that template appears
with appropriate text and formatting already provided. You can open only one document at a time;
when you open a second document, you’ll be asked to save the first. You can save a document
you create or edit in a variety of formats, including Word (.doc), Pocket Word (.psw), Rich Text
Format (.rtf), and Plain Text (.txt).
