Converting PWI files

Is there some way to convert PWI files created in Notes in Outlook to a file
that can be read in MSW. They can be read on my PPC, but not on the desktop
or notebook? Thanks guys. I googled it but came up blank.

Jerry

Re: Converting PWI files

Jerry,

..pwi files are supported by Word however you have to use the File Sync
process via ActiveSync/WMDC to convert the file to a format that can be used
by your desktop PC.

Note that this feature is not exactly perfect - kinda like sync'ing
Favorites. There may be challenges getting them to open correctly.

My recommendation is to use Mobile Word to write your notes then sync them
to your PC. This works much better

Re: Converting PWI files

Word's ability to open pwi files varies both with version and activesync
(converters y'know)
