2| Im having problems installing the product. What should I try first?

Delete any items in your Temp directory and try installing again (Note: You may wish to backup the contents of your Temp directory prior to doing this). The Temp directory is typically located in your Windows directory (c:\windows\temp) or on the root level of your hard drive (c:\temp). Quit all programs and delete any items in this folder. Our software uses the Temp directory during installation. If there are items left from other programs, they may interfere with the installation. If you get a message that certain items cannot be removed, it is OK to leave them.

3| Will this installation replace older versions of the product?

Yes, provided that you install the software in the same location as the previous version. If you choose to install in a new location, you will have to manually remove the files from the old location.

4| Why are the documents that Ive added to Documents To Go not brought over to the handheld the first time I sync?
After first installing Documents To Go on your desktop, you must synchronize twice in order for a document to be moved to your handheld.

Native
document support
What is Native Support? Documents To Go 6 is the first version to support handheld-based native document support for Microsoft Word and Excel files. "Native" indicates the file is in its original desktop format, specifically Microsoft Word and Excel. Before native document support, the desktop application converted Microsoft Word and Excel files to a handheld format that Documents To Go could open. Then the files were synchronized to the handheld. With native document support, you can use Word and Excel files no matter how they are delivered. Why is Native Support Beneficial? Below are some of the benefits to Native document support: Open and work with documents whether you are in a meeting or out in the field. With native document support you will be able to open files sent to your handheld via e-mail, on an expansion card, or via Bluetooth. Documents To Go can open Microsoft Word and Excel files right on the handheld, without any desktop conversion or synchronization needed. Easily share files in a mixed environment. For example, you can use your Secure Digital (SD) card as a modern day floppy disk to exchange files between a Palm handheld and a Pocket PC simply by swapping

The format will be:

Determined by the document format preference in Documents To Go desktop application Determined by the document format preference in Documents To Go desktop application Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft Word Microsoft Excel

The new document will be placed in the default location on the desktop, which is C:\MyDocuments for Window Users and HD:Documents for Macintosh Users. The default file formats and file locations can be changed by going to the Preferences option under the Tools menu in the Documents To Go main desktop application.

SD cards loaded with Word and Excel files. You can even use the same SD card to upload handheld files to any computer with an SD slot or card reader. There is no need to have Documents To Go installed on that desktop computer. Use Documents To Go along with popular wireless e-mail applications such as VersaMail to receive, edit, and send real Word and Excel files as e-mail attachments. Documents To Go can automatically open your attachments on the handheld itself so you can view and edit documents you receive. Edit any Word or Excel file in Documents To Go on your handheld, send them off as an e-mail attachment, and theyll arrive at their destination as real Word or Excel files. How do I get Native Word and Excel files on my Handheld? There are a number of ways to get Native Word and Excel file on your handheld: Drag and drop native files into the expansion card window on the desktop application and synchronize. Beam native files via infrared from laptops or Pocket PCs to your device. Send native files via Bluetooth from laptops or Pocket PCs to your device. Receive native files through email applications such as VersaMail. Receive native files directly from Expansion Cards (e.g., Secure Digital or Memory Sticks).

DocSync
technology
In Windows versions, Documents To Go includes a revolutionary technology called DocSync, which provides seamless synchronization for Word, Excel and PowerPoint 97, 2000, and XP. DocSync technology gives you the freedom to make changes to documents on the handheld without losing the documents original formatting after synchronization. With DocSync technology there is no longer a need to manage multiple versions of your desktop documents in order to retain the original formatting. Specifically, DocSync technology will apply the changes youve made to a document on the handheld to the desktop document. In doing so, you will not lose any of the original formatting of your desktop document. For example, if your desktop document contains embedded worksheets, diagrams, or hyperlinks, these features will remain in the desktop document even after youve made changes to the handheld document and synchronized. Note: DocSync technology does not apply to Native Microsoft Word and Excel files that did not originate on the desktop and have been edited on the handheld before synchronization (for example, if you bring Word or Excel files into Documents To Go on the handheld via an expansion card and you make edits BEFORE synchronizaton, DocSync technology will not apply to those files).
