iPAQ Pocket PC H3700 Series Reference Guide 70

Using Software

With the applications on your Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3700 Series, be up to date and

organized even away from your computer by

• opening or creating new Word documents

• opening or creating new Excel workbooks

• viewing maps and points of interest with Pocket Streets*

• reading eBooks with Microsoft Reader

Use Pocket Word

Create new Word documents from your Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC or synchronize existing

Word documents from your computer to your Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC. Microsoft

ActiveSync 3.5 converts Word documents into the Pocket Word format and changes the .doc

extension to a .psw extension.

CAUTION: Because Microsoft ActiveSync 3.5 converts Word documents into the Pocket Word format,

you may lose some formatting from the original Word document. Some formatting information (for

example, the margins and the paper size) may be restored when the Pocket Word documents are

synchronized with your computer and converted back to the Word format.

Pocket Word does not support

• columns

• numbered lists

• headers and footers

• footnotes

• style sheets

Open a Word document

Using Microsoft ActiveSync 3.5, move existing Word documents to your Compaq iPAQ

Pocket PC, convert them automatically to the Pocket Word format, and open them, or open

documents you created on your Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC.

CAUTION: Pocket Word recognizes and displays documents in one folder below My Documents. For

example, if you created another folder in the Personal folder in My Documents, the documents in that

folder will not be shown.
