Pocket Word
Pocket Word works with Microsoft Word on your host computer to give you access to copies
of your documents. You can create new documents on your terminal, or copy documents
from your host computer to your terminal. Synchronize documents between your host
computer and your terminal so that you have the most up-to-date information in both
locations.
To create a new document in Pocket Word, such as a letter, meeting minutes, or a trip
report, tap Start - Programs - Pocket Word - 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 formatting applied. 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 in a
variety of formats, including Word (.doc), Pocket Word (.psw), Rich Text Format (.rtf), and
Plain Text (.txt).
