Mike,

From the limited info on the website, it looks like a good program, but I am pretty reserved about dumping money into 3rd party software. I think I can live without pocket word showing sigma plot graphs properly. As I assume you can imagine, I wouldn't intend on doing much on the Ax. that needs the functions of Sigma Plot or other high end analytical software programs, so the fact that they don't show up isn't a big deal.

I think if I had a company that paid for the program I would use it, but I am not sure that the incremental improvement in functionality would justify the price for me.

Since the Ax. shipps with a powerpoint viewer in the canned package, I find it is pretty complete.

I have not checked to see if my sigma plot graphs are recovered when I transfer off the Ax onto another desktop, I will update with the result if you are interested.

Originally posted by lindsj Not sure if we mis-communicated, I am not using ClearVue, in fact, I am not familiar with it at all. So far I have not added any significant software to the Ax. So, for now, I find that the canned software is suiting my needs. (at least without converting word doc's - does anyone know what the benefit is of the conversion? does is only reduce file size?) What all is ClearVue?

THe current Pocket Word, IMO, is atrocious, as for Activesync, I generally ignore it, and transfer files via card reader (you can, even from Pocket Word, save as a word or rich text document, and move it onto a card)

But every since I've gotten Text Maker, I don't think I could go back to using the Pocket Word application: http://www.softmaker.com

this is a full word document editor, as for the conversion the reasons it does this is because the Pocket Word app was designed for Pocket PC devices years ago with 16 MB of ROM, or less, so was made really compact, now with the Axim, full word processors are comfortably possible, with Text Maker. ClearVue doesn't drop any features either, but is more or less a document reader than full word processor for creating docs from scratch.

it is pretty expensive though, and I know you said that if you don't need it, that it isn't necessarily worth the extra expense.
