Excel® Mobile

With Microsoft® Excel® Mobile you can create and edit workbooks and templates on your Treo Pro smartphone. You can also edit workbooks and templates that you create on your computer. However, keep in mind that you may lose some of the information and formatting when you save the workbook on your smartphone.
