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 handheld, such as letters, meeting minutes, 

and trip reports, or you can copy documents from your computer to your 
handheld. 

• Synchronise documents between your computer and your handheld so that 

you have the most up-to-date content in both locations.

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)

• Plain Text (.txt)
