It's one of those hidden options you have to expand. What that does is add AportisDoc way at the bottom of the File->Save As pick list. This saves the file as a .pdb which the Palm can use. Just put it where your sync looks for things to install, etc.
On the other side of it, my Tungsten E came with Documents To Go 6.0 which can handle native word .doc files directly, so the problem can be solved either way. You just have to get the file "registered" for syncing however your sync program does that. I just use kpilot and pilot-xfer which both work fine for Linux (once you get used to coddling the usb challenged 2.4 kernel that I still have.)
