Please note:

• If synchronizing a MS Word or MS Excel document which uses a font which is not present on the pocket PC, then the pocket PC uses an arbitrary font and that could be the Hebrew font which the calendar program uses.
  This problem can be fixed by copying the fonts used in the desktop PC document from the Fonts folder on the desktop PC (C:\WINDOWS\FONTS or C:\WINNT\FONTS) to the fonts Folder on the pocket PC (\Windows\Fonts).
