It makes no difference whether there is word or not on PC. ActiveSync is
just messing up the unicode characters. I heard that installing on PDA
application called InterWrite (in a specific version for your local
language) will add some better ActiveSync filters. (maybe even the demo will
do).

Good idea. I'll try that.

Thanx!

Determine the font that is being used in Word on the PC, then copy that
font to the ppc's \windows\fonts directly, soft reset and see if it helps.

It will not help in most cases.

YES! YES, it helped! I've changed the font that the PPC Word document used
(on the PPC) to a font that I've installed from a PC and then converted -
everything is fine now!

Thanks a bunch, Beverly!
