Using Software
Use Pocket Excel
Create new Excel workbooks from your Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC or synchronize existing
Excel workbooks from your computer to your Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC. Microsoft
ActiveSync 3.5 converts Excel workbooks into the Pocket Excel format and changes the .xls
extension to a .pxl extension.
CAUTION: Because Microsoft ActiveSync 3.5 converts Excel workbooks into the Pocket Excel format,
you may lose some formatting from the original Excel workbook.
Pocket Excel does not support
• data validation
• cell notes
• add-ins
• protection
• scenarios
• object charts
• vertical alignment
• text boxes
• embedded OLE objects
• hyperlinks
Open a workbook
CAUTION: Pocket Excel only recognizes and displays documents in one folder below My Documents.
For example, if you created another folder in the Personal folder in My Documents, the documents in
