On-device Conversion Changes
When you synchronize files or copy files between your PC and your device,
ActiveSync on your PC converts the files so that they can be read. However,
when an Excel workbook arrives on the device, for example in an e-mail
attachment, the device converts the workbook to a Pocket Excel workbook.
Note the following regarding these on-device conversion changes:
Alignment
. Horizontal, vertical, and wrap text attributes remain the same,
but vertical text appears horizontal.
Borders
. Appear as a single line.
Cell patterns
. Patterns applied to cells are removed.
Fonts and font sizes
. Fonts not supported by your mobile device are
mapped to the closest font available. The original font is listed on your
device. When converted back to Excel, the data is displayed in the original
font.
Number formats
. Numbers formatted using Microsoft Excel 97 conditional
formatting feature are displayed in Number format.
Formulas and functions
. If an Excel file contains a function that is not
supported by Pocket Excel, the function is removed, and only the returned
value of the function appears. The formulas described are also converted
to values: formulas entered as an array or containing an array argument
(for example, =SUM({1;2;3;4})); formulas containing external link
references or an intersection range reference; and formulas containing
references past row 16384 are replaced with #REF!
