Is there a way to transfer documents to a computer that doesn't have active sync?

[ladyshopsalot]

I'm wanting to transfer some word documents from my ppc onto a computer that doesn't have active sync (school computer) is there a way to do this using a usb cable?

Buy a memory-card reader, and plug your SD card to it.
That's probably the easiest.

Or:

Beam via IrDA
Copy via Wifi/BT.

What kind of files are you thinking of? Some are converted through AS by default so you may need workarounds for these.

[ladyshopsalot]

okay, i guess i need to get a memory card reader and an SD card, because i can't figure out how to get wireless to work at my school, and my workplace isn't wireless equiped

When you save your word documents they default to Pocket Word format, but you can Save As MS Word format, which will transfer with no problem.

This is more of a question of my own rather than an answer to the above question but...can you transfer files from a bluetooth equipped Axim to a bluetooth equiped pc (using a BT usb adapter)??? Thanks.

[Howard2k]

Certainly can - I should have included that in the list :)

You do it using the BT Wizard to exchange the files.

Thanks a lot.

Try the Jumpdrive Trio. It's small, portable, and works with SC, MMC, and Memory Stick! You can find them at Wally World for under $20

would saving the document as a txt file work too

[DavidLennartz]

It might work....
txt files have saved me a few times when dealing with Word documents across certain systems....
