I have an HP hx4700, and although I can see the files on my network server
(NAS) - mostly .wma and some Word & Excel, they won't run when I tap on
them. I realize that a desktop version of an Excel file may not be
digestible by the Pocket PC version of that program, but why can't I open
music files? If I can view the files on a network server from a Pocket PC,
it suggests that I should be able to do something with them.
Is there an obscure software switch that I need to set? Or am I missing a
plug-in or something?

You can copy/paste them on your PPC

to actually "run" them you need a third party app, such as Resco File
Explorer, or Netrunner. KB is correct, the default file explorer allows you
to cut/paste only.

You can also use a file explorer like netuse (freeware) or Resco's File
explorer($$$) to let you play files directly from the network share.
