Synchronization
Tasks
• Tasks stored on your device can be
synchronized with Outlook on your PC.
Task synchronization is automatically
selected in ActiveSync.
• New items entered on one computer
are copied to your phone during
synchronization. Handwritten notes
and drawings are saved as metafiles
(pictures). For more information on
synchronization, see ActiveSync Help
on the PC.
Notes
Notes can be synchronized between your
PC and Xda Atom either through notes
synchronization or file synchronization.
Notes synchronization synchronizes the
notes on your Xda Atom with Outlook
Notes on your PC. File synchronization
synchronizes all notes on your Xda Atom
with the My Documents folder on your PC.
To synchronize your notes through notes
synchronization, first select the Notes
information type for synchronization in
ActiveSync. The next time you synchronize,
all notes in My Documents and its subfolder
on your device will appear in Outlook Notes
on your PC. Notes that contain only text will
appear as regular notes in Outlook on your
PC, while notes containing written text or
drawings will appear in the device format.
In addition, all notes in the Notes group in
Outlook on the PC will appear in Notes on
the device.
To synchronize your notes as files, in
ActiveSync, select the Files information
type for synchronization and clear the
Notes information type. When you select
Files, the My Documents folder is created
on your PC’s desktop. All .pwi files placed
in the My Documents folder on your
device and all .doc files placed in the \My
Documents folder on your PC will be
synchronized. Password-protected files
cannot be synchronized. ActiveSync
converts documents during synchronization.
For more information on synchronization or
file conversion, see ActiveSync Help on
the PC.
Please note
When you delete or change an item
on either your PC or device, the item
is changed or deleted in the other
location the next time you synchronize.
If you synchronize your notes using file
synchronization and then later decide
to use notes synchronization, all of
your notes will be synchronized with
Outlook on your PC and will no longer
be stored in the My Documents folder.
