If you're going to read and edit Word documents on your handheld, you can make it a little more pleasant and accurate by installing the fonts you and your colleagues use most often on your device.

Here's how to do it:

�Connect your handheld to your computer.

�On your computer, click Start-Control Panel.

�Double-click on Fonts to see the list of fonts on your computer.

�Select the one(s) you want to copy to your handheld, then click Edit-Copy.

�Open My Computer and select your Mobile Device to view it.

�Open My Windows Mobile-based Device-Windows-Fonts.

�Select Edit-Paste to insert your chosen fonts onto your handheld.

(Note that not all fonts will play nicely with Windows Mobile.)

Now, when you use Word Mobile and select Menu-Format-Font, your new fonts will appear in the list. Or, to view the fonts installed on your device, choose File Explorer-Fonts.
