unable to open pocket word files they are NOT .doc extension

I copied some files from my QTEK S110 onto a friends laptop and they copied accross OK although they did not have a .doc file exension (it was something else) and then when I tried to open them from the new location I could not even after associating that file extension with WORD.
Whats going on?
Also does anyone know how I can se the file extensions of all files and unhide hidden files in file explorer on my pocket pc.
thx

the file extension for pocket word is *.psw to use them on word on pc i think it has to be converted. In pocket word you can click on tools then Save Document As.. do that and under the drop down list of file type you can save it as .doc .rtf .psw .txt and another file type.
about the hidden files if you tap the screen and hold it in the explorer and a menu will come up and theres a selection there for view all files, it unhides some files but not all files. I use Profiexplorer which comes with profimail which is a indepth explorer. it shows all files aswell as file extensions and you can change file extensions and so on

Simply set the active sync option to convert the Pocket Word <-> Word files on transfer. I though this was on by default.
Of course if you don't copy via AS (e.g. via the SD card), it won't convert.

"Of course if you don't copy via AS (e.g. via the SD card), it won't convert."
Sorry I didnt understand the sentence above. What does AS stand for? AND Did you mean that if I have copied my *.psw file onto my main memory (Permanent Save) that "Simply set the active sync option to convert the Pocket Word <-> Word files on transfer" wont work
I havent tried Active Sync yet.

AS = Active Sync
This converts the format for you when copying from one to the other.

If you haven't tried ActiveSync (AS) then you must be transferring the files via the SD card or perhaps BT or IR? This won't convert them - ActiveSync can convert the files on the fly as you transfer them between device and PC.

Thanks

Thanks yes I am using BT though I do not have an SD card they are saved into my RAM - The S110 has 128MB instead of the usual 64. Thanks for your help

Location of tsk themes???

Hi,just setting up my M700 and need to transfer my themes over.Usually do this by just restoring from sprite backup. However this time I did a complete clean install. Problem is I cant find the normally present themes folder so as for them to appear in the today menu. Usually its in the windows folder but I cant find it.Where can I put them oe where is it located (the're a lot of them in a folder I created called themes) so as to be visable to the device ie usable/selectable as today backscreens? Thanx all.

The .tsk files should be stored in \windows
When you say that you can't see it, do you mean that you can't see \windows in the explorer on your PC when the phone is connected via ActiveSync?
If this is the case, then it might be due to the fact that the \windows folder is hidden and the explorer on your PC is not showing hidden files and folders.

Try also in My Documents.

Thanx for the reply,unfortunately didnt work
@Its : I can see the windows folder in both my trinity and pc
@MacGuy2006 : Have looked in my documents to no avail
Perhaps another way of posing the question would be how or where do I put additional themes so i can use them. I would rather not have them just put in like that in the windows or whatever folder as I'd like to keep them tidy and organised in their own sub-folder called themes.That way I can edit/remove/add them easily. What pathway or tweak if possible could I use to run them off the storage card to save on space?
Thanx again.

You can put the tsk files in the ROOT directory "/" of your miniSD card and WM5 will find them. I do this to save storage on my phone.

ok thanx matterhorn. May have to do that as its proving a pain.Just that I have more than enough space on the trinity itself.just cant get them to be seen

I download the zipped up tsk file to the storage card.
When I upzip it (by double clicking on the new icon shown in my storage card it gives the options of where you want to send it). I send it to the "my dococuments" on my phone. Then when you go into "settings", then "today" screen you'll have a choice of all your new tsk files added to the original ones.

Q: How to transfer a file from the phone to the PC ?

How can we transfer files from the device to the PC?
I have done the opposit using reg tweak from file explorer and once in the phone (folder MyDocuments\Zune) changing the name, but I couldn't copy files from the phone (i.e from the Applications folder) to the PC, tried to copy them to the Zune folder but didn't show in the PC explorer...
Any idea?

[Q] Files not synchronizing when opening on PC

I use Es File Explorer, and have used other apps to delete files off the nexus 7 storage. However when I plug it to the PC and open the internal storage, I see the files are still there. The files HAVE BEEN deleted though, as when I click on the file, it says file corrupt, and doesn't take up space anymore.
For example I put a movie file into my tablet. I watched it, and deleted it after I'm done. I plug it on my pc and I see the folder and file still there.
how can I fix this?
It can be a pain because I use my nexus 7 to read my school documents.. sometimes I rename the file, and the whole thing is corrupt, as in I can't open it when I plug it in my PC anymore, because the names doesn't match. Or If I don't remember correctly which files I've deleted, and re-delete it when I use my PC, soon it will be fill with a lot of useless files when I open the internal storage on my PC.
Any help? I don't remember this being a problem before, I was able to edit/delete files, and it would show up as is on my pc.

Also, when I open a folder with pictures on my PC, some files do show the thumbnail, while other files just show the default pic file.
Basically my nexus 7 feels very 'corrupt' and slow when I browse the files on my PC. Anyone else have the same problems?

You could use ADB instead

[Q] programming file copy help?

I guess this could be the somewhat right directory, I asked this on stackoverflow with no luck. Basically I code (or I intend to if I can get it work) a program to where it will move my files off of my usb drive (via otg cable) to internal memory on my nexus 7. IT will work if I specify a file from the flash drive, but how ever I would like to have it to where it will just grab all of the files off, and move them. I am using the fileinputstream/fileoutputstream to byte array. How can I go about to where it will just grab all the files without having to specifically target a file name?
