From: Sven on 1 Jan 2006 15:10 The warning is a concession to that issue. It previously would just blow away all the formatting with no indication to the user at all, until the trashed document was opened on the desktop. Beyond the Planmaker suggestion, I could suggest just using the SaveAs option in the popup. It prepopulates the SaveAs dialog with a modified document name, appending a (1) or what is appropriate, so you can just hit save. So it's two taps, SaveAs, OK. You will have two docs now, one with DocName, one with DocName(1). If after opening DocName(1), with your changes, on the Desktop, you find nothing else is wrong, just delete DocName and rename DocName(1), delete the (1). I know it is a bit more management, but it beats having an important document inadvertently messed up. -- Sven MVP - Mobile Devices "Beverly Howard [Ms-MVP/MobileDev]" <BevNoSpamBevHoward.com> wrote in message news:u7DdBnoDGHA.1028(a)TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... > Also, be _very_ aware of the danger of "round tripping" complex > documents... > > Since the pocket versions can't handle the complex functions, they are > "stripped" when they are editied on the ppc... subsequently, when these > files are synced back to the pc, all of the complexity in the originals on > the pc are lost... > > do not sync the originals... only copies. > > Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices]
