Thanks for taking the time to leave your comment. I have just opened up a .pwi file with Word 2007 and have updated the post. You need to open up MS Word FIRST without any file loaded and then locate your .pwi file and open it after MS Word has been launched. I am thinking that some people are running the .pwi file directly after it's associated with MS Word. If you do that, nothing will happen. As for Windows mobile Device center (newest version of Windows Mobile Activesync) not having the InkWriter converter, well, I apologize as I have not updated the Windows Mobile Activesync to the newer Windows Mobile Device Center software so I can't help you there. I am currently using a Nokia E71 smartphone and two Apple iPod Touch. Perhaps you can try to open up Word first and then see if you can open up the .pwi file. Good luck! Hi, Rowan.

However, I find (along with a lot of other users) that Word 2007 can't open PWI files. Also Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't seem to have the ActiveSync features that you describe. So these two methods seem unavailable to me (running Windows 7). It seems absolutely crazy tha MS have given us a mobile operating system and a desktop operating system that can't transfer simple text files, and that with the migration from Word 2002 to Word 200 and from ActiveSync to WMDC the facilities have been getting less and less. In my case they really are just text files - I don't use ink, nor audio recording. They are just pure text. Rowan Thanks for these hints.
