Jay Lagorio posted a message about his software in a discussion message, but I thought his software looked so cool I wanted to share it with you. If you use a keyboard, you'll love this software! Best of all, it's free.
"Do you have a Stowaway Keyboard, or another brand of external keyboard that attaches to your Pocket PC? When you use Pocket Word, you've probably tried to type a document, during which you've pressed Ctrl+B or Ctrl+I out of habit. What happens then? Well...nothing. Pocket Word ignores your command and continues to give you a plain, normally-formatted text that doesn't have Bold, Underlined, or Italicized text like you had asked.
Now, however, there's an easy and simple way to do this without doing much of anything that's different from what you would do on your word processor on your PC. It's called WordCommands. WordCommands will attach to Microsoft Word and intercept those keyboard shortcuts that Word doesn't pay attention to. Then, when it sees that you've typed a key combination, it will send the appropriate message to Microsoft Word, which will act as if you've just tapped the correct button or elected the proper menu item."
