BUG: Pocket Word Files May Lose Inserted Objects (328615)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PC 2002
- Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PC 2003
This article was previously published under Q328615 SYMPTOMS If you send a
file from a Pocket PC device as an e-mail attachment,
for example
a Pocket Word (.psw) file, you may lose
information such as inserted drawings or voice data. Files that the Pocket PC receives as
e-mail attachments may lose inserted drawing files or voice
files.CAUSE Pocket PC devices use on-device conversion on documents that are
attached to e-mail messages. Because of the design and the operation of these
converters, some loss of document content and format may result.RESOLUTION To make sure that data inside a file is not deleted, use a compression application such as WinZip before you
send files to another Pocket PC user.STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft
products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION This behavior is by design. File conversion occurs both
when a file is attached to an e-mail message, and then when that file moves
between the Pocket PC device and other platforms. Microsoft Pocket Word
converts .doc files to Pocket Word format. That process strips some objects
such as audio and pictures from the document.
