your device with Excel Mobile.
• View, edit, and create charts and graphs,
which can be embedded as objects in
a worksheet or placed on a separate
worksheet.
• Enter formulas and functions, and then
filter data to see the subset of information
you want.
• Split panes to view different parts of a
worksheet at the same time.
• Freeze the top and left-most panes in a
worksheet to keep row and column labels
or other data visible as you scroll through
a sheet.
When you close a newly created workbook,
it is automatically named and placed in
the Excel Mobile workbook list. You can
easily rename the workbook with a more
meaningful name and move it to another
folder or a memory card.

Synchronizing Excel Mobile
workbooks
Excel Mobile workbooks can be
synchronized with Excel workbooks on
your PC. To synchronize files, 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
files you want to synchronize with the device
in this folder. Password-protected files
cannot be synchronized.
All Excel Mobile files that are stored in
\My Documents and its subfolders are
synchronized with the PC. ActiveSync
converts documents during synchronization.
When you delete a file on your PC or your
device, the file will be deleted in the other
location the next time you synchronize. For
more information on synchronization or file
conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the
PC.
Workbook conversion
Excel files (.xls) and templates (.xlt), created
in Excel version 5.0/95 or later on the PC,
are converted to Excel Mobile workbook
(.pxl) or template (.pxt) files. The conversion
takes place during the following actions:
• During file synchronization.
• When you copy an Excel file to your
device from the PC.
• When you open an E-mail message with
an Excel file as an attachment.
