Unsupported features in Word Mobile
Word Mobile does not fully support some features of Microsoft Word such as
revision marks and password protection. Some data and formatting may be lost
when you save the document on your device.
The following features are not supported in Word Mobile:
• Backgrounds.
• Shapes and text boxes.
• Artistic page borders.
• Smart tags.
• Metafiles.
• Bidirectional text. While Word Mobile
will open documents containing
bidirectional text, the indentations and alignment may be displayed and
saved incorrectly.
• Password-protected files. Word Mobile cannot open password-protected
documents. You must first remove the password protection in Microsoft Word
Mobile
on the PC if you want to view the document on the device.
• Document protection. Microsoft Word Mobile does not support displaying files
that have been protected in Microsoft Word on the PC.
The following features are partially supported by Microsoft Word Mobile:
• Picture bullets.
• Revision marks.
• Table styles.
• Underlining styles. Underlining styles not supported by Microsoft Word Mobile
become one of these four supported styles: regular, dotted, wavy or
thick/bold/wide.
• Legacy Pocket Word files. You can open *.psw files in Microsoft Word Mobile.
However, if you edit a file, you will need to save it in *.doc, *.rtf, *.txt, or *.dot
formats.
The following features are not supported on the device. However, they are
retained so that when a file is opened on the PC again, they appear as before.
• Footnotes, endnotes, headers, footers.
• Page breaks.
• Lists.
• Fonts and font sizes. Fonts not supported by the device are mapped to the
closest font available, although the original font will be listed on the device.
