WordSmith or in WordSmith Preferences (accessible on your desktop – please see Chapter 3 for more 
information on the desktop application). You can open the document by doing any of the following: 

•  Open WordSmith on your desktop, select the document and double-click on it.  
•  Open Microsoft Word and then click on the File menu and choose Open. Select the directory that 

your document was saved in earlier (e.g., My Documents, if you are using the default set-up for 
Windows or the WordSmith folder inside your Palm user folder inside the Palm desktop, if you 
are using the default set-up for Macintosh) and open it like you would open any Word document. 

•  Open Microsoft Word and then click on the WordSmith menu (Windows only) and choose 

Open. 

Please note that currently you can not sync a document from the expansion memory card to 
the desktop.  The document must first be copied or moved to your organizer’s main 
memory (RAM).  In addition, by default the WordSmith conduit treats the document on 
your organizer as the latest version of the document. This is in the case of editing both the 
desktop document and the handheld document before syncing.  As such, the version of the 
document on your organizer will trump the version on your desktop. Please see Chapter 3 - 
Synchronization Action and Backup Copies for important information regarding 
synchronization of documents on your organizer with your desktop computer.
