Introduction 

 
WordSmith’s synchronization technology is based upon the same technology that has made 
BackupBuddy & InstallBuddy such popular and easy to use products (available from 

). WordSmith comes with a Windows and Macintosh conduit that allows you to 

synchronize your Microsoft Word documents and other RTF documents to your organizer, edit them and 
then send the revised document back to your desktop with little or no loss to the document’s original 
formatting!  In addition, for Linux users, WordSmith ships with a Command-line document converter.  
This chapter describes how to use the conduits and the Command-line document converter.   

Please note that currently you can not sync a document from the expansion memory card to 
the desktop.  The document must first be copied 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 Synchronization Action and 
Backup Copies (below) for important information regarding synchronization of documents 
on your organizer with your desktop computer. 

Syncing Documents to Your Organizer 

This section of the manual describes how to use WordSmith to synchronize documents to and from your 
computer. 
WordSmith makes it very easy for you to synchronize your documents to your organizer.  First you need to 
let WordSmith know which documents to synchronize and then all you need to do is HotSync! 
There are 2 ways to let WordSmith know what documents to synchronize:  (1) through the WordSmith 
desktop application and (2) through the WordSmith add-on menu in Microsoft Word (Windows only).
