Be sure you have Inspiration 7.5a or higher. Begin by opening the Inspiration document with Inspiration. On the File menu, choose Handheld, then Save for Sync. Choose the handheld name for which you would like this document to be available, then click Save. During the next ActiveSync, the document will be transferred to the connected Pocket PC.

Be sure you have Inspiration 7.5a or higher. Begin by saving the document on your Pocket PC. Next, connect the Pocket PC to your computer. After the ActiveSync is complete, start Inspiration. On the File menu, choose Handheld, then Open from Sync. In the window that appears, open the folder that corresponds to your handheld's name. Inside that folder, you will find a list of your available Inspiration for Pocket PC files. Select the one you want, then click Open.

By default, documents moved from the Pocket PC to a desktop computer are saved in a folder named for your handheld's device ID in one of the following folders:

Windows 2K, XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Inspiration Handhelds

Windows 98 C:\Windows\All Users\Documents\Inspiration Handhelds

However, you can easily change that default behavior by moving the Inspiration Handhelds folder—or a subfolder with a particular device name—to anywhere you have access and then creating a shortcut with the exact same name in the original location.

For example, suppose you wanted to save your documents on a server instead of a workstation. Suppose, too, that your device name is "Firefly." First, move the “Firefly” folder from the Inspiration Handhelds folder to a location on the server to which you as a user have full access, including write and delete access. Next, create a shortcut or alias for that folder with the name "Firefly"—the shortcut/alias name must be exactly the same as the original for this to work—and place it in the Inspiration Handhelds folder from which you moved the original folder. That's it—the next time you perform an ActiveSync, the documents moved from your handheld will automatically be saved in the "Firefly" folder on the server. Likewise, when you choose Save for Sync in the desktop version of Inspiration, the documents will also be saved to the "Firefly" folder on the server, where they will be available for moving to your handheld during the next ActiveSync operation. This is especially useful for situations in which a handheld user is performing an ActiveSync to more than one computer and would like to gain access to his or her documents from any workstation for which that ActiveSync process is set up.

The example above refers to a server, but a network is definitely not required: you can also use this feature to redirect documents moved during an ActiveSync to any location on the same PC computer. Just remember, the user trying to access that new location must have full permission to read, write and delete from it (that's why the default location is initially set to "all users").

Download the ActiveSync Provider Installer. Open that installer's folder and double-click setup.exe. Follow the on-screen instructions.
