Pocket PC Phone User Manual 133

Pocket Word documents are converted to Word documents when they are synchronized or copied back to the PC. During the conversion from Word to Pocket Word, most simple text and paragraph formatting will be retained and displayed, but some formatting attributes could be changed or lost.

9.2 Pocket Excel

You can create and edit workbooks and templates in Pocket Excel just as you would do in Excel on your PC. Pocket Excel workbooks are usually saved as .pxl files, but you can also save them in the .xls format. When you close a workbook, it is automatically named and placed in the Pocket Excel workbook list. You can attach a password to a workbook to ensure privacy.

Synchronizing Pocket Excel workbooks

Pocket Excel workbooks can be synchronized with Excel workbooks on your PC. To synchronize files, select the Files type for synchronization in ActiveSync Options settings on your PC. When you select Files, a \My Documents folder is created on your PC’s desktop. Place all the files you want to synchronize with the device in this folder. Password- protected files cannot be synchronized.

All Pocket Excel files that are stored in \My Documents and its subfolders are synchronized with the PC. ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization.

When you delete a file on your PC or your device, the file will be deleted in the other location the next time you synchronize.

For more information on synchronization or file conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.
