What options does the conduit(s) give you when you click the "Settings" button (or double-clicking the conduit itself)?

Oh, while I have your attention, have you found any way to use the "Pictures/Movies" conduit on the Mac?
I don't actually have Missing Sync so I can't speak to that, but as far as I can tell there is not a seperate conduit for each of the MS Office apps. I did a search for conduit on my Mac and the only thing I could see related to this was a "DocsToGoConduit" file located in User -> Library -> Application Support -> Palm HotSync -> Conduits Hope this helps...

There is a Pictures/Movies droplet that works quite well. I have it sitting in my Dock and just drag the pics/movies over top of it. It asks whether you want to put the file on your SD card or the handheld, and also does some compression/reencoding to make it work on the Treo. I tested it using an avi I shot with my digital camera and it came over great (I could never get that particular movie to play on my Treo600). I just ripped an episode of Friends with MacTheRipper and it gives me an error message. I was hoping that I could skip the DVision step, but I guess not...

All in all though, VERY COOL
