Document Formatting Not Preserved During ConversionLast reviewed: April 14, 1997Article ID: Q161693 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you copy a Microsoft Word document from your desktop computer to your Handheld PC (H/PC) and then open the document using Pocket Word, complex tabs, section headings, and some numbered lists do not retain their settings.
CAUSEBy default, the file conversion properties for the Desktop To H/PC converter are set to convert Microsoft Word documents (.doc files) to Pocket Word documents (.pwd files.) The conversion process does not properly preserve some formatting.
RESOLUTIONTo preserve numbered lists and section headings, save the .doc file as a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file on your desktop computer, and then copy the .rtf file to your H/PC. You must manually re-create other formatting that is not preserved.
STATUSMicrosoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
