You can copy files between your HP Jornada and desktop PC by
dragging icons to or from the folders in the Mobile Device
Explorer window, or by using the Cut, Copy, and Paste
commands on the Edit menu.
Some files may need to be converted before you can use them on
your HP Jornada. By default, Microsoft ActiveSync automatically
converts files to the appropriate file type. However, you can
choose not to convert files, or you can specify the conversions for
each file type by changing options in the File Conversion
Properties dialog box.
To set file conversion options
1. Open the ActiveSync window.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Rules tab, and
then click Conversion Settings.
3. Click either the Device to Desktop or Desktop to Device
tab.
4. Select the file type, and then click Edit to change conversion
options. In most cases, you will be offered a single conversion
option or no conversion at all.
When Microsoft Office files are converted to their corresponding
Pocket Office formats, the Pocket Office files are compressed, so
they require much less storage memory than they do on your
desktop PC. During conversion, certain formatting or attributes
may also be removed from the Pocket Office version; however, all
formatting should be restored when the file is returned to the
desktop PC. For specific details, see the sections on Microsoft
Office programs in chapter 5 or refer to online Help for that
program on your HP Jornada. Only Microsoft PowerPoint® 97
and 2000 files can be converted to Pocket PowerPoint.
