Pocket Word and Word 2007 compatability

[PaulH]

Hope this is the best forum for this.

Can anyone help, I've just installed an HP iPAQ with Pocket Word with my new
Vista machine with Word 2007, and I can see, but can't open pocket word files
stored on the iPAQ on my PC. Is there a converter needed? if so where do I
get it?

Grateful for any assistance

Hi

As I understand it, Microsoft has not released a converter to enable you to
move Word 2007 files to Pocket Word or vice versa.

The general workaround is to use Word 2007 to save files in Word 2003
format. For details, see

Hope this helps.

Shauna, thanks, I will follow you link, but the main problem is reading
Pocket Word files IN Word 2007, not vital to do it the other way round.

Do you know about how to do this or do I really have to wait for a patch?

Thanks

Hi

I don't think that Word 2007 can open Pocket Word files, but to be sure, I
suggest that you ask your question in the appropriate mobile devices
newsgroup.

Hope this helps.
