Activesync doesn't show file conversion options

I'm trying to transfer Excel files to my Axim, so as I understand it Activesync will have to convert them to Pocket Excel / Excel Mobile format... but it doesn't. I've looked at the settings for file conversions... and they're not there. For desktop to device, it has an option to convert Pocket Excel to Pocket Excel(!), but there's no entry for me to choose what to do with regular Excel files. Any thoughts?

I'm new to all this, and this is the first time I've tried to copy across Excel files. A total guess is that something went wrong when I installed the Textmaker beta - the installation process for that stopped Word files getting converted on transfer... perhaps it also did the same for Excel files. I don't think there's an entry for Word files in the settings, come to think of it. I'm sceptical this is the problem, but something is...

Should I just remove and re-install Activesync and see if that helps? Not particularly impressed with Activesync, I must say...

Cheers!
