Problem with Word and Excel documents on C500

[Guest Honest John]

I hope I haven't asked a question that has been raised before, but I did search.

I dragged and dropped a couple of WORD and EXCEL documents over to my C500. On the way, Windows Explorer converted them to Pocket format. As a result, Clearvue won't see them. No problem with RTF files, though.

Any solutions?

Basically I want to copy files from my PC to my Phone and then read them.

Thanks.

I think you have to disable the 'Convert files when synchronized, copied or move' option under Microsoft ActiveSync > Tools > Options > Rules tab Conversion Settings > General tab

Its my wild guess but worth trying. :)

Yep I wanna know also? I presume to read the converted pocket format files u need to use pocket word but I dont know if this would work on the C500 or how to get it. If anyone knows of any software that reads either .doc or .psw I've converted them to .rtf also and can read them in word pad but Its not that great.

Pocket Word won't work on the phone but you could try this ;

just disable file conversion in active sync rules and you will be able to they the files with the CV programs.

As an alternative text and word document viewer you can use profiexplorer
