I dare say this question has been answered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Here's the issue.....

I'm off on holiday and OBVIOUSLY taking my BB. However, I might be asked to prepare and send a quick proposal document. I usually prepare this on my laptop in Word, then turn it into a pdf. What I would then like to do is zap it across to my BB and send it without having to trek down to the nearest internet cafe with a USB stick.

I don't have bluetooth on my laptop, just wifi. How do I achieve this?

I'd be grateful for any help.

Thanks

Jamies

data cable

Thanks for that, but to be honest I need a little more help. I assume you mean a USB cable. So I plug it in, and then......???

All the BB software icons etc. seem to talk about is transferring photos. I tried a document via media manager, but it arrived in the BB as gibberish. BB was trying to convert it for some reason.

Can't you convert it on your laptop and email it to yourself as an attachment?

i'm assuming you have a media card in your BB, just plug in BB into laptop using USB cable and transfer it into media card.

don't bother with media manager software, just drag n drop using explorer

Sorry guys. I appreciate all your responses, but I am still struggling.

fonebrkr - If I could e-mail it to my laptop I could e-mail it to the client. The problem is that that laptop has wifi and that we will not be in a wifi area. The laptop does not do gprs, so I can't e-mail myself.

Stev - Yr system seems closest to what I need, but a cpl of glitches. 1. Unless I launch media manager I can't see the blackberry in explorer. It just doesn't seem to register there. 2. A couple of times the system has worked, but several times the document just appears as rubbish (and too small a file size).

Any thoughts?

do you have mass storage mode on?
you can turn it on by going to options > media card

once that's done, plug BB in and it should show up as a removable drive

Many thanks, that seems to work a treat now. I just needed to switch on the automatically use as mass storage upon connection thingy.

Thanks a million
