Worried X51 520mhz Word compatibility questions

Hello,

Im totally new to PDA, never even used one. Im wanting to minimize paperwork at my small office through this. Can word documents be synced (if Im using that phrase right, note even sure what all sync does) to the pda and used. I use mainly word templates Ive created that have lots of tables and some contain formulas, my logo, page numbers, etc. Can the PDA handle this? Can these forms be used as they would on my desktop pc?
And,
If so,
What would be the best way to go about getting these forms from the desktop to the PDA?

Also, is anyone familiar with the Word program that comes with this PDA? Is it the same as on a PC? Can new files be created and saved with the memory available?

Any answers would greatly be appreciated, Im really starting to look into one of these for myself soon!

Thanks!
TN

Since you clearly use it on an advanced level, look up SoftMaker on Google. It can edit MS office files just like the desktop to many versions of MS WORD & EXCEL and sync back & fourth.
Highly recommended...

WM5 word mobile can but seeing your headers, footnotes, & what not isn't possible but it'll keep the form when syncing.

Regarding syncing of files: a Windows Mobile folder can be created when Activesync is installed. Anything you put into this folder on the desktop gets copied on the Axim; as long as a file remains in this folder, it is updated (sync'ed) whenever an activesync is done.
