If an e-mail program is installed on your device and you receive an attached Word document or template created in Word version 6.0 or later, WordPad will convert the file on your device. To view the document, simply open the attachment in your e-mail program or open the file in WordPad.

During conversion, some formatting attributes may be changed or lost. To avoid losing these attributes permanently, close the file after viewing it rather than saving the file on your device. If you save the file, save it with a different file name.

For more information about conversion performed on your device, see the following topics.

Borders and Shading
Borders and shading are not displayed in WordPad, but are restored when converted back to a Word document. Shading is not restored when used in a table, but simple borders are restored.

Character formatting
Bold, italic, strikethrough, superscript, subscript, and hidden text are retained and displayed. Other effects are changed or removed.

Colors
Colors are retained and mapped to colors available on your device.

Fonts and font sizes
Fonts not supported by your mobile device are mapped to the closest font available in WordPad.

Page formatting
Headers, footers, footnotes, columns, page set-up information, and style sheets are removed during conversion to WordPad. WordPad supports built-in headings.

Paragraph formatting
Tabs, alignment, bullets, indentation, simple numbered lists, and paragraph spacing are retained and displayed in WordPad.

Pictures are removed during conversion.

Table of Contents text and some formatting are preserved. However, any text set at right-aligned tab stops may wrap to the next line.

Index text and some formatting are preserved.

Tables appear as tab-delimited text. Cells containing wrapped text, tabs, or paragraph markers may be difficult to read. Simple tables are displayed accurately and restored when you convert the WordPad file back to a Word document.

OLE Objects are removed during conversion.

Revision marks are visible but cannot be changed. Annotations and comments are removed during conversion.
