Steve As an alternative approach, if you use ActiveSync, you can get that to do the conversion for you as part of the move/copy process - setting on the Desktop to Mobile Device tab.

If there are any pictures or non-text in the document you will be warned that these will be lost and you just have to tab over to ok and press enter. After retransfering back to the BN or PK, you should be able to read the file. Other than this method, I don't think 6x is yet able to cope directly with this sort of problem, and whilst I believe it has been noted for inclusion in a future release of Keysoft, how big a priority this is, I do not know.
