YOU HAVE A RELEASE OF OOo THAT RUNS ON YOUR PocketPC?! If yes, you
should ensure that it is available to others. Please send an
announcement to [email protected]

However if you are talking about saving OOo files in a format that is
reasonably compatible with most handhelds, try the Aportis format or
better maybe is Pocket Word format. I know of nothing in windows that
does the conversion automatically. However, you might try modifying
http://fr.openoffice.org/Documentation/Outils/OOoMultiSave-0.4.zip to
use that format.

It should already be there. Please check that Aportis and Pocket Word
are in the Filetype list. If not, try setup.exe again and select Modify.

Are you really using 2.0.2? I mean even 1.1.5 has Pocket Word as a save
format.

Since you use the French release, may I suggest that you ask at
[email protected]
