 <h2>Mobile Device Support</h2>

 <p>The Mobile Device Support Pack installs three separate sets of components
 to your OpenOffice installation &#8211; the <a href="#XmlFilterAdapter">XmlFilterAdapator</a>,
 the XMergeBridge and current set of available XMerge <a
  href="http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/index.html#plug-ins">plugins</a>.</p>

 <h3>Prerequisites</h3>

 <ul>
   	<li>The Mobile Device Support Pack is designed to work with OpenOffice
 1.0.  	    It should also work with OpenOffice 642 and OpenOffice 643.  		It
 has also been tested with StarOffice 6.0. There isn't currently a  		way to
 make it work with other builds. If there's a demand for supporting  		other
 builds then we'll make the necessary updates. 		</li>
   	<li>You must have JRE 1.4 or above installed for the installer to work.
  		<br>
  You must have JRE 1.4 or above installed and configured for use with OpenOffice
 to have access 		to the plugins within OpenOffice. </li>

 </ul>

 <h3>Instructions</h3>

 <ol>
   	<li>
     <p>Download the <a
  href="http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/downloads/XMergeInstall.jar">XMergeInstall.jar</a>
 file.</p>
   	</li>
    <li>
     <p>For all installations ensure that you have completely quit 	OpenOffice
 &#8211; this includes shutting down the quick-starter if 	it is running. Once the
 installation starts, follow the instructions 	on screen.</p>
   	</li>
    <li>
     <p>Start the installation<br>
      <b>Windows</b>: The 	XMergeInstall.jar files should be executable by
 either 	double-clicking on it from Explorer or by typing <code>java -jar
 	XMergeInstall.jar</code> at the command line.<br>
      <b>Unix</b>: Type 	<code>java -jar XMergeInstall.jar</code> (<b>Note</b>:
 on Solaris 	2.6 and above, make the JAR file executable and type 	./XMergeInstall.jar
 at the command line.)</p>
   </li>

 <h3>About the XmlFilterAdapator</h3>
  </a>
 <p>OpenOffice filters make use of a generic filter specification called the
 <code>XmlFilterAdaptor</code>. This implements many of the same interfaces
 that most filters use, but it does not do any of the actual filtering itself.
 The <code>XmlFilterAdaptor</code> can be used to instantiate a lower level
 filter, and pass user defined data to it. Using this implementation, the user
 can specify a filtering module that can be instantiated by the <code>XmlFilterAdaptor</code>,
 in order to carry out the filtering logic.</p>

 <p>In order to maintain the pluginable nature of the XMerge framework, there
 needs to be a bridge between the <code>XmlFilterAdaptor</code> and the XMerge
 plugins, that will drive the plugins, without the requirement to change the
 operation of the plugins themselves. This bridge is known as the XMergeBridge,
 and is part of the XMerge project.</p>

 <p>The XMergeInstaller installs the XmlFilterAdapater, the XMergeFilterBridge
 and all available XMerge Plugins to your OpenOffice installation. Thereafter
 the filters are accessible from the <b><font face="Arial, sans-serif">File|Open
 </font></b><font face="Thorndale">and <b><font
  face="Arial, sans-serif">File|Save As </font></b>menu.<br>
  </font></p>

 <h2>ActiveSync Support</h2>
  The ActiveSync XMerge Filter allows synchronisation of Writer and Calc documents
 with a Microsoft Pocket PC device. &nbsp;This filter invokes XMerge from your
 OpenOffice/StarOffice installation.<br>
  <br>

 <h3>Prerequisites</h3>

 <ul>
    <li>XMerge<br>
    </li>
    <li>Java Runtime Environment 1.4</li>
    <li>Windows 95 (with IE 4/5), Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows
 XP</li>
    <li>ActiveSync 3.5</li>

 </ul>
  The ActiveSync support requires an update to some of the XMerge code. &nbsp;If
 you downloaded the Mobile Device Support Pack prior to the evening of 30th
 July 2002, then you will need the update. &nbsp;An updated <code>xmerge.jar</code>
 file is included in the ActiveSync download. &nbsp;This file should be copied
 in place of your current xmerge.jar.<br>

 <h3>Instructions</h3>

 <ol>
    <li>Download the <a
  href="http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/downloads/xmergesync.zip">xmergesync.zip</a>
 file.<br>
      <br>
    </li>
    <li>Disconnect your device from ActiveSync.<br>
      <br>
    </li>
    <li>Unzip the two files in the archive. &nbsp;Copy the XMergeSync.dll
 file to a suitable location, e.g. <i>&lt;OO Installation Directory&gt;/program</i>.<br>
      <br>
    </li>
    <li>At the command prompt, go to the directory in which you unpacked the
 files and run the regutil.exe program giving it to the fully qualified path
 of the XMergeSync.dll file.<br>
      <br>

     <pre>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;C:\Temp&gt; regutil "C:\Program Files\OpenOffice\program\XMergeSync.dll"</pre>
      <br>
    </li>
    <li>Reconnect your device to ActiveSync.<br>
      <br>
    </li>
    <li>You may need to configure ActiveSync to convert the files. &nbsp;<br>
      <br>

     <ul>
        <li>Open the ActiveSync program on the desktop machine.<br>
          <br>
        </li>
        <li>Open the Options dialog either by clicking on the icon or by <i>Tools
 -&gt; Options</i>.<br>
          <br>
        </li>
        <li>If you have a partnership setup, you will need to select the <i>Rules</i>
 tab on the dialog. &nbsp;Then click the <i>Conversion Settings </i>button.
 &nbsp;If not, then the <i>Rules </i>tab will be presented by default.<br>
          <br>
        </li>
        <li>Click on the <i>Desktop to Device</i> tab and scroll down the
 list. &nbsp;You should see entries for the OpenOffice/StarOffice Spreadsheet
 and Text Documents in the list of file types. <br>
          <br>
  &nbsp; &nbsp; Select on the Spreadsheet entry and verify that the mobile
 device type is set to <i>Pocket Excel Workbook</i>.<br>
          <br>
  &nbsp; &nbsp; Select on the Text Document entry and verify that the mobile
 device type is set to <i>Pocket Word Document - Pocket PC</i>.<br>
          <br>
        </li>
        <li>If the types are not set to convert then double click on the type
 to bring up the <i>Edit Conversion Settings</i> dialog. &nbsp;Select the correct
 type from the drop-down list.</li>

     </ul>
      <br>
      <br>
    </li>
    <li>If you wish to convert Pocket PC documents to OpenOffice/StarOffice
 equivalents automatically, repeat the procedure in step 6 on the <i>Device
 to Desktop</i> tab for the <i>Pocket Excel Workbook</i> and <i>Pocket Word
 Document - Pocket PC</i> file types.</li>
