I have a Toshiba e800 and I was just wondering how would I convert a file
that was done in the Word on the PDA to a PC-readable word file? THanks...
and the same goes for excel file, etc?

to elaborate a bit...

Open Activesync on your PC

Check, or make sure that "Files" is checked

When checked, a sync folder will exist in your PC's "My Documents"
folder containing the name of your pocketpc

Any files placed in this folder or below will be transferred or updated
to your pc each time you sync...

Any file in your pocketpc's main memory "My Documents" folder or below
will be transferred or updated to your PC each time you sync.

However, most pc-word files don't really have to be "converted" Word
documents received by email or copied directly to a storage card will
probably open on the ppc without problems.

Hope this helps...

Personally, I suggest that you save your work on your pocket pc as a word
file, not a pocket word file. After you turn of file conversions in
activesync (tools, options, rules, conversion settings, uncheck box) you can
do this in pocket word by tapping tools, save as, and then select word
97/2000 to save your work. This is good for some of the formatting to
remain, but if you like all the formatting of word, you may wish to look
into texmaker (30 day trial or $39 @ http://www.softmaker.de/tmp_en.htm),
which has conditional formatting, inserts, and lots more. Also, to move
files back and forth, I just use Windows Explorer. Under "My Computer" in
the classic view tree you will be able to see under your had drives, optical
drives, and removable media a "Mobile Device" category. This is you PDA,
when connected, and though you cannot open files from there, you can copy
and paste files and folders to and from your PDA.
Have fun.
