Tungsten T and MS Word

This is for all owners of Tungsten T / T2 / T3.

I am thinking about buying a Tungsten T ,T2 or T3 but am
wondering if it can do something that my Toshiba pocket pc
does. Its a feature i use alot.

You can start MS Word on a pocket PC and type in a few
words, and then record a voice note right into the document.
After you record the note you can then add in more typed
words, so that you end up with a document with a voice
note plus text.

I know Tungsten T's have a voice recorder, but is that voice
recorder available in MS Word and can you combine text
with a recorded voice message??

If someone could be so kind as to try this and write back
to this forum with your results, I would sure appreciate it.

Thank you, Ben Takeshi

Ben,

I'm not aware of any program (MS Word style) on the Palm that allows incorportation of a voice recording. Docs 2 Go does a great job on Word, Excel and Powerpoint, and I've used the Palm along with Margi Presenter to put on Powerpoint presentations as well. The Voice Recorder on the Palm store a "normal" .WAV file with a time stamp of the current time. When you backup to a PC, this .WAV file can be synched to the PC (as long as the conduit is active - set to synchronize).

Using MS Word on the desktop, you could then select the WAV file to be included in your MS word document. Not as "simple" as on the pocket PC, but could be a solution to your delimma.

Thank you, fnagle, for your input.

I did not make it clear in my question that i was referring to
Docs to Go - specifically , does Docs to Go - Word program
allow you to record a voice note into a word document on the
Tungsten T and then safe it so that end result is a Word
document with both text and voice notes combined.

If anyone has Docs to Go loaded on their Tungsten and can start up DOCS TO GO - MS WORD and then look to see if it has a menu option to record a voice note into the Word document - that would be nice to know.

Thanks to every one who tried to answer this question.

I've got D2G v 6-008 have just opened Word To Go and Microsoft Word, and neither as far as I can see allow for recording voice memos as others have suggested.....but then again I haven't had my first coffee of the day yet!

As you can see by my original post - I'm not aware of any program...

What I did indicate: the Palm Voice Recorder uses the generic .WAV file format which could then be "included" on the desktop. ... Not as "simple" as ....

Hope this clears up any misunderstanding...
