Dolphin Peripherals 9500 manual Creating an Excel File, Tips for Working in Pocket Excel

Pocket Excel

Pocket Excel works with Microsoft Excel on your desktop computer to give you easy access to copies of your workbooks. You can create new workbooks on the terminal, or you can copy and paste workbooks from your desktop computer. Synchronize workbooks between your desktop computer and the terminal so that you have the most up-to-date content in both locations.

You can open only one workbook at a time; when you open a second workbook, you’ll be asked to save the first. You can save a workbook you create or edit in a variety of formats, including Pocket Excel (.pxl) and Excel (.xls).

Pocket Excel contains a list of the files stored on your device. Tap a file in the list to open it. To delete, make copies of, and send files, tap and hold a file in the list. Then select the appropriate action from the pop-up menu. Pocket Excel provides fundamental spreadsheet tools, such as formulas, functions, sorting, and filtering. To display the toolbar, tap View > Toolbar.

Creating an Excel File

To create a new file, tap Start > Programs > Pocket Excel > New. A blank workbook appears. If you’ve selected a template for new workbooks in the Options dialog box, that template appears with appropriate text and formatting already provided.

If your workbook contains sensitive information, you can protect it with a password. To do so, open the workbook, tap Edit, and then Password. Every time you open the workbook, you will need to enter the password, so choose one that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
