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 your Pocket PC Terminal, or you
can copy workbooks from your desktop computer to your Pocket PC Terminal. Synchronize
workbooks between your desktop computer and your Pocket PC Terminal 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’ve
selected a template for new workbooks in the Options dialog box, that template appears with
appropriate text and formatting already provided. 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 Pocket PC Terminal. 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.
