To select writing:
If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first.
1. Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the
insertion point appears.
2. Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.
If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Tools, then Undo and try again.
You can also select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it and then
dragging the stylus across the screen.
You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with
typed text: tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu.
To convert writing to text:
• Tap Tools and then Recognize.
If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Rec-
ognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then
tap Recognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left
as writing.

text.
Chapter 2: Basic Skills
If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of
alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the
incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alter-
nates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you
want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original
writing.
Tap to return to your original
writing.
Or, tap the word you want to use.
Tips for achieving better word recognition:
• Write neatly.
• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the
cross of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not
confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the
line.
• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using
the Tools menu.
• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words
so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.
• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such
as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an
“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will
not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen.
The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you
select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings
can be resized, while writing cannot.
To create a drawing:
• Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears.
Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of
the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be
treated as writing.
The drawing box indicates

Chapter 3:
Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®, you can synchronize the information on
your computer with the information on your device. Synchronization compares the data on your device with your PC and updates both computers
with the most recent information. For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device
with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
device and computer.
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on
and off for specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your device data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected
to your computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how
much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many
weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your PC from the
Toshiba Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your device.
57
Toshiba Pocket PC e350/e355 User’s Guide
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your Pocket PC to your PC, set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your device and your computer, and customize
your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and
Tasks on your device. You’ll notice that information you’ve stored in
Microsoft Outlook on your PC has been copied to your device, and you
didn’t have to type a word. Disconnect your device from your PC and

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:
• Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft
Outlook on your PC.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync.
For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help
on the PC.
During synchronization:
• Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook
on your computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By
default, you will receive messages from the past five days only, the
first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments of less than
100 KB in size.
• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred
to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.
• E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on
your desktop computer in order to be transferred.

first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than
100 KB in size. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or
your computer.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your
next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap
and hold the message you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service
you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items.
The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on
the device. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends
on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then
Options. On the Message tab, select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and
then Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to
another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then
tap Move to on the pop-up menu.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
• If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
will automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select to
synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync.
The folders you create and the messages you move will then be
mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from
the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated
Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family
folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read
the messages while away from your computer.
• If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
• If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you
created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and
their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail
server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox
and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer
have access to messages that you move to folders created from
anywhere except the device.
• If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages
you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from
your device or computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/
delete folders when connected.
