You can create and edit workbooks and templates in Microsoft Pocket Excel just as you
would do in Microsoft Excel on your PC. Pocket Excel workbooks are usually saved as
.pxl les, 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 syn-
chronize les, 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 les you want to synchronize with the device in this folder. Password-protected
les cannot be synchronized.
All Pocket Excel les that are stored in \My Documents and its subfolders are synchronized
with the PC. ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization.
When you delete a le on your PC or your device, the le will be deleted in the other location
the next time you synchronize.
For more information on synchronization or le conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the
PC.
Workbook conversion
The Excel les (.xls) and templates (.xlt), created in Excel version 5.0/95 or later on the
PC, are converted to Pocket Excel workbook (.pxl) or template (.pxt) les. The conversion
takes place during the following:
nDuring le synchronization.
nWhen you copy an Excel le to your device from the PC.
nWhen you open an E-mail message with an Excel le as an attachment.
Pocket Excel workbooks are converted to Excel workbooks when they are synchronized
or copied back to the PC.
During the conversion from Excel to Pocket Excel, most simple text and paragraph formatting
will be retained and displayed, but some formatting attributes could be changed or lost.
