5 More Programs
In addition to Microsoft Pocket Outlook, several programs are built into your
Pocket PC. They include Microsoft ActiveSync, Microsoft Pocket Word,
Microsoft Pocket Excel, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Reader, Pictures
and additional programs. This chapter tells you how to use these programs.
5.1 Microsoft ActiveSync
NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your Pocket PC. You need to install ActiveSync
on your desktop computer. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see section 1.4.)
When you have established the connection between your Pocket PC and your
desktop computer, you can synchronize the information between the two with
ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and updates
both computers with the most recent information. For example, you can:
 Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases
up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC with Microsoft Outlook data
on your desktop computer.
 Synchronize email messages in your Pocket PC Inbox with email messages
in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.
 Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
Pocket PC and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to
the correct format.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
 Back up and restore your Pocket PC data.
 Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC and desktop
computer.
 Add and remove programs on your Pocket PC.
