Pocket Word
Pocket Word works with Microsoft Word on your computer to give you
easy access to copies of your documents. You can create new documents
on your device, or you can copy documents from your computer to your
device. Synchronize documents between your computer and your device
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 tem-
plate 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).
Pocket Word contains a list of the files stored on your device. Tap a file in
the list to open it. To delete, make copies of, and send files, tap and hold a
file in the list. Then, select the appropriate action on the pop-up menu.
