Mike, as far as I know you have to convert your scanned text to .doc or .txt format and then hotsynced to your visor. You can use i.e. AportisDOC to view a textfile. Of course you will lose the text-formatings.
I think it is not possible to view pictures on the Visor. Or is it? Any ideas?

I found a great picture viewer on palmgear. It's called Fireviewer and it's freeware. http://www.palmgear.com/software/sh...&prodID=230

Seems to work fine but haven't played with it much.

Hope that helps

Of course not.
Everybody knows that it is the Superman cape that enables the user to fly...

Thanks Chris, I'll give AportisDOC a try.

Fireviewer is a great program. Used to be called ImageViewer. I've been using it for a couple of months now and it works great. I can use it to carry a map of the Boston T (Which I need whenever I'm going to an area I don't go usually)
