Are there any tricks to get more productivity out of Pocket Excel? I’m a big excel user on the PC but find it difficult on the PPC. To see enough cells in the screen you have to zoom it down to where my 40-year-old eyes can’t read the text. Also, it doesn’t seem to support all the formatting that the PC does such as conditional formatting. I’m hoping that there is something I’m missing but suspect that this is just the nature of the beast. Any thoughts?

there is a spreadsheet program made by the same folks as text maker that is great. there is also a program i think that is called spreadCE that is a plugin to excel.

Pocket Excel is a very limited program with only a very small subset of the functions of Excel.

If you need the full set of functionality, complete with charts, then I would suggest PlanMaker from SoftMaker.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just cheked it out and it looks good, although a bit pricey. Any idea if it can be installed on an SD card or does it need to go into main memory?
