Problems with Excel

Would someone please comment as to whether the issues that I am experiencing with Excel are normal.
I draft proposals using Excel. I noticed a few changes in the look of a document after synching with my Axim X3i. I have my company logo at the top center of the original document which I believe is either jpg or bit map. It is non existent when viewed on the Axim.
I also created a table on the original that contains two rows and 4 columns that contains my E-mail address, my phone #, the proposal # and the date. This table is displayed as blank space. I use headers within the spreadsheet which are centered on top of tables, they appear on the Axim but are shifted to left margin.

I am copying the file and pasting it in the my documents under mobile PC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Pocket Excel lacks alot of the functions of the desktop version.

This app is a better aproximation of the real thing:

Welcome to aximsite, jgbcustom!

This is, sadly, how p-excel works. As KPDUTY notes, spreadce is a much better pocket spreadsheet than p-excel. I'm looking forward to planmaker from softmaker (should be released Real Soon Now), as well.

SpreadCE is a very powerful spreadsheet program which will do virtually everything that Excel 98/2000/XP will do. It has all the same formulas, functions and macros plus a few more. It will also do graphics.

It costs $20, for which you get a Desktop version as well.

It will read and write *.xls files so, if you use it, set ActiveSync Options so that it does not convert files.

The only problem is the difficulty of dealing with large spreadsheets on the small PDA screen.
