Creating a Workbook

Use Pocket Excel to create workbooks, such as expense reports and mileage
logs. To create a new file, tap Start > Programs > Pocket Excel > New. A
blank workbook appears. Or, if you have selected a template for new work-
books in the Tools > Options dialog, that template appears with appropri-
ate text and formatting already provided. You can open only one workbook
at a time; when you open a second workbook, save the first. You can save a
workbook you create or edit in a variety of formats, including Pocket Excel
(.PXL) and Excel (.XLS). You can also save a workbook as a template by
moving the workbook to the Templates folder.
Pocket Excel contains a list of the files stored on your CN2B Computer.
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. Tap View > Toolbar to see the toolbar.
Note: If your workbook contains sensitive information, you can protect it
with a password. To do so, open the workbook, tap Edit > Password.
Every time you open the workbook, enter a password, preferably one that is
easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.

Tips for Working in Pocket Excel

worksheet.
• Show and hide window elements. Tap View and then tap the elements
you want to show or hide.
