Synchronizing Notes
Notes can be synchronized between your PC and Pocket PC Phone either through notes
synchronization or file synchronization. Notes synchronization synchronizes the notes on
your Pocket PC Phone with Outlook Notes on your PC. File synchronization synchronizes
all notes on your Pocket PC Phone with the My Documents folder on your PC.
To synchronize your notes through notes synchronization, first select the Notes information
type for synchronization in ActiveSync. The next time you synchronize, all notes in My
Documents and its subfolder on your device will appear in Outlook Notes on your PC.
Notes that contain only text will appear as regular notes in Outlook on your PC, while
notes containing written text or drawings will appear in the device format. In addition, all
notes in the Notes group in Outlook on the PC will appear in Notes on the device.
To synchronize your notes as files, in ActiveSync, select the Files information type
for synchronization and clear the Notes information type. When you select Files, the
My Documents folder is created on your PC’s desktop. All .pwi files placed in the My
Documents folder on your device and all .doc files placed in the \My Documents folder
on your PC will be synchronized. Password-protected files cannot be synchronized.
ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization. For more information on
synchronization or file conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.
NOTE: When you delete or change an item on either your PC or device, the item is changed
or deleted in the other location the next time you synchronize.
If you synchronize your notes using file synchronization and then later decide to use notes
synchronization, all of your notes will be synchronized with Outlook on your PC and will
no longer be stored in the My Documents folder.
