In addition to Microsoft Pocket Outlook, there are other Microsoft programs
built into the device. This chapter tells you how to use these programs.
6.1
ActiveSync
NOTE:
ActiveSync is already installed on the device. You need to install ActiveSync on
your desktop computer. (See section 1.5 for installation procedures.)
If you use Windows Vista, you do not need to install Microsoft ActiveSync on your
computer. Your synchronization settings will be managed through the Windows
Mobile Device Center. For information on the Windows Mobile Center, see the
Windows Vista Help or documentation.
When you have established the connection between the device and your
desktop computer, you can synchronize the information between the two
with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and
updates both computers with the most recent information. For example, you
can:
Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases
up-to-date by synchronizing the device with Microsoft Outlook data on
your desktop computer.
Synchronize email messages in the device Inbox with email messages in
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Excel files between the device and
desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct
format.
