For the small memory footprint and the platform, this made the most sense. Pocket Excel can share and exchange spreadsheets with Windows95,NT or 98 versions of Excel but cannot exchange information with the current version of SUDS '97. Pocket Excel is somewhat limited in its functionality compared to the desktop versions of Excel, but I have found this version increasingly easier to use. There is no way in Pocket Excel to protect cells so you have to use some care in not overwriting cells that contain formulas. To make this easier, I've made all cells that should be protected blue in the worksheets.
Installation is quite simple.
You can also copy this document file to the Handheld device for reference and view it in Pocket Word. When you save the workbook, name the recipe. The changes you make are stored with the recipe, not the template. Other values will then be pulled in automatically for the selection. While this may seem cumbersome for a desktop workbook, it is remarkably easy with WindowsCE's touch screen.
