9 About document conversion
If an e-mail program is installed on your device and you receive an attached
Word document or template created in Word version 6.0 or later, WordPad will
convert the file on your device. To view the document, simply open the
attachment in your e-mail program or open the file in the WordPad.
During conversion, some formatting attributes may be changed or lost. To
avoid losing these attributes permanently, close the file after viewing it rather
saving the file on your device. If you save the file, save with a different file
name.
For more information about conversion performed on your device, see the
following topics.
