9.5 Pocket Excel
Pocket Excel works with Microsoft Excel on your PC to give you easy access to your workbooks. You can create new workbooks
on your device, or you can copy workbooks from your PC to your device. Synchronize workbooks between your PC and your
device so that you have the most up-to-date content in
both locations.
Use Pocket Excel to create workbooks, such as expense
reports and mileage logs. To create a new file, tap ,
Programs , Pocket Excel , and then New . A blank
workbook appears. Or, if you have selected a template
for new workbooks in the
Options dialog box, that
template appears with appropriate text and formatting
already provided. Only one workbook may be opened 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 and then Toolbar .
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.
