Don't ever enter "->" into Pocket Word in Windows Mobile!
It seems that there is a pretty significant bug in Pocket Word. According to a post in PPC Magazine's blog, in some cases if you enter "->", which is not uncommon in documents, you will crash Word and lose all your work. This apparently applies to both WM2003 and WM2003SE. The additional resources listed below may have information about whether or not it applies to WM2005.

More information is available here:

Quite correct, thanks. I'm just glad the t-key didn't double strike!

Has this been fixed in WM5? My first Windows Mobile device is on it's way and I'm doing research on what to expect. I'm moving from Palm OS.
