Yes, but do not expect formatting to be completely (if any) retained.

Even current Pocket Word (for Windows CE 3.0) do no transfer well to/from the desktop Word through MS's Activesync i.e. an all-MS path. This has been a longstanding complaint in the Pocket PC word.

Check out TextMaker. Apparently, it does a better job than pocket word with formatting and stuff. I haven't used it yet. I'm still thinking about it. I'll post back if I do try it out.
