Can anyone help me?

Hi All!

Just got myself a iPAQ rw6828 with WM5.0 recently. I am also very new to the world of pocket pc. Can any of the experts here help me on these issues?

1. Change the sound to my incoming text message.
I know how to set the standard tones given by WM5. Can i set it to an mp3 sound file? if so how?
2. How to change the fonts of the screen to a larger font?
how do i change the font to be seen larger? the standard fonts are too small.
3. Can i send text messages or write docuements in chinese language in WM5.0? If so how do i do it?

Thanks for reading this thread. It will be a great help to me if anyone could help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

Have a great day
Fadzzi

FOR CHINESE INPUT:
i bought my rw6828 in HK, and they gave me a free additional chinese input software cd. perhaps you can ask your retailer about it, i believe they give this away as a free option for chinese users.

TO ADD ADDITIONAL ALARM/ TEXT ALERT SOUNDS:
1. Sync your Pocket PC via ActiveSync. On your PC's hard drive, locate a .WAV file you'd like to use on your Pocket PC as an alarm sound. On your PC, highlight the file you wish to transfer and click Edit > Copy
2. In ActiveSync, click the Explore button. In the Mobile Device explore screen, navigate to My Windows Based Mobile Device > Windows folder
***if you can't find the "Windows" folder, in the explorer, go to Tools > Folder Options > View > Show Hidden Files and Folders
3. In the Windows folder, click Edit > Paste on the toolbar. The file you copied to your clipboard will be pasted to your Pocket PC's memory
4. Now that you've pasted your .WAV file in the \Windows folder of your Pocket PC's file system, the file should now show up as an alarm/text alert option. Tap Star > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications and then choose the alert you want.

Hope that helped. sorry if it was too long.
