I use Excel and Word documents daily that I share and transfer back and forth from PC to Ax. I store My Documents on a CF card "My Documents" folder I created from my Desktop. If you have no storage cards, use the "My Documents" folder in the main memory. The easiest way to transfer information and have it automatically change format is to either drop and drag or copy and past. Open Windows Explorer on Desktop and navigate to the Document / Worksheet you want to transfer. Open Active and make sure the "Toolbar" is selected in the "View" menu. Select "Explore" / "My PocketPC" (this is your PPC Explorer) and navigate to the folder you want to transfer your data to. Again, I suggest you use either the My Documents folder in Main Memory or a "MY Documents" folder you have created in storage card. The reasoning for this folder is that all your Excel documents and Word documents will be listed for selection when you open the App. If they are stored in any other folder or location, they do not show up when App is opened and have to be navigated to open them. I save some documents in other places so they are semi hidden from those who want to "Play" with my "Toy".
To steer back to the original issue, your files will automatically be converted to the proper format when transferred from PC to PPC and vice versa. At times it does not have the proper file type listed for conversion and I just cancel and re-drag / drop.

Hope this helps,

One last thing, I have some fairly large spreadsheets with several worksheet tabs. It's awesome to have the information at my fingertips. Extremely large files do take a bit longer to open though.
