Well, you are supposed to be able to just tap the title, I can tell you that much...

I'm a little confused because ActiveSync 4 is mainly for WM5 devices, but I thought the WM5 finally did away with Pocket Word format - so which version of Windows Mobile are you using?

You could try sending the file in native format without converting it. Even Pocket Word 2003 supports the native Word format - it's just not the default.

How big is the file? Maybe you are overloading Pocket Word?

You might just have to cough up the $50 for TextMaker. Although it's expensive by PDA standards, it is worth it if you can afford it.
