5-6 Companion Programs
Pocket Excel
Pocket Excel works with Microsoft Excel on your computer to give you easy access to
copies of your workbooks. You can create new workbooks on your iPAQ H3000, or you
can copy workbooks from your computer to your iPAQ H3000. Synchronize workbooks
between your computer and your iPAQ H3000 so that you have the most up-to-date con-
tent in both locations.
Use Pocket Excel to create workbooks, such as expense reports and mileage logs. To cre-
ate a new file, tap
, Programs, Pocket Excel, then New. A blank workbook appears.
Or, to select a template for a new workbook, tap Tools, Options, then tap New. The tem-
plate you selected 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, includ-
ing Pocket Excel (.pxl) and Excel (.xls).
Pocket Excel contains a list of the files stored on your iPAQ H3000. 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, sort-
ing, and filtering. To display the toolbar, tap View then Toolbar.
NOTE: If your workbook contains sensitive information, you can protect it with a password. To do
so, open the workbook, tap Edit, 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.
