Synchronizing Notes
Notes can be synchronized between your desktop 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 syn-
chronizes 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 subfolders 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 Docu-
ments 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.
When you delete or change an item, on either your desktop PC or your Pocket PC Phone,
that item will be 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.
