Word documents don't "round-trip" well if you edit them. If you create a document on your host PC with even some common features (fonts not on your Pocket PC, styles, tables), Pocket Word will display it to the best of its ability without the formatting. If you edit that document, however, when you synchronize it, you'll find the document on your host PC has lost the formatting and now looks like the document on the Pocket PC. That's usually not what you want. :-)

It makes sense, in a way, but if you don't know about the problem, you can really hose your document. The text will be there, but you'll have to reapply all of the styles.
