PWD is the extension that get attached to a file if youuse active sync and have conversion checked. You don't want to have your files converted necessarily when you transfer them using active sync. I can't remember where to find the option, someone else may be able to help withthis one a bit more. Just find that checkbox and make sure it isn't checked and it should help you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "TerriStimmel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2004 2:26 AM Subject: [Braillenote] Odd situation with files
