Pocket Word
Pocket Word works with Microsoft Word on your desktop computer to give you easy access to
copies of your documents. You can create new documents on your MobilePro, or you can copy
documents from your desktop computer to your MobilePro. Synchronize documents between
your desktop computer and your MobilePro so that you have the most up-to-date content in both
locations.
