Item not collected: Format not supported by Office Clipboard

[chunnel]

I am trying to copy a font from Windows/Fonts on my Vista machine to my
Pocket PC using Windows Mobile 6.0. When I highlight the ttf file or files,
I get the message ""Item not collected: Format not supported by Office
Clipboard". How can I transfer a font to Mobile Word?

The 'Office' clip board message is the clue. Copying should be done at the
operating system level rather than in Office. To what extent this is
possible with a Pocket PC I have no idea.

I was doing it through the operatings system. I tried Control Panel-Fonts
and Windows/Fonts. Both gave me the same error. Do you know who else I
could ask?

I know nothing about Pocket PCs but a google check produced (amongst other
links)

To add fonts, copy the fonts you want from your PC's
\%systemroom%\windows\fonts directory to the \windows\fonts directory on
your Pocket PC device. Note that you might not be able to remove the added
fonts, even after you delete the font files, without resetting your device.

I am now getting that same message that the type is not supported by
clipboard when I try to copy jpg's from the Pocket PC. I believe the problem
is lying with clipboard. Is there a way to reset it?

Frankly I don't know why the Office clipboard is in any way involved if you
are copying via the operating system.
