From: Wendy Phillips on 31 Dec 2005 13:15 Newbie here so I apologize ahead of time for any dumb question(s) I ask... I jut got a Dell Axim X51 running Windows Mobile 5.0. I am a teacher and use Excel as my gradebook. Whenever I edit a spreadsheet that I have edited on my PC (running Excel 2000), I get the following message... "Unsupported content and formatting may be lost if you save this workbook. Tap save as to create a copy or replace the file..." It does this with even the simplest of workbooks (no macros, no formatting, just a single cell of text data). I can do a save as and write it over the original workbook but it's a cumbersome process, and I don't know what formatting and content I may be losing. Is this a result of the desktop version of Excel I'm using or some converseion setting, or is it the way it was designed to work. Would love to hear from anyone experienced with Excel Mobile. W. Phillips

Phillips > > I have the same problem on an O2 Exec running WM5, right pain so I sent the phone back. Did not find a solution apart from if I saved it to a SD Card the problem did not exist. I guess its to do with the bugs in WM5 as I found a few other problems that I was not willing to put up with hence O2 got the rubbish back. Ran MS office Pro 2000 and the rather bad WM5 all sorts of issues I dont get the problem on the old WM PPC software Steve -- The UK SpeedTrap Guide" @ www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk The UK Weather Guide" @ www.ukstorms.com
From: Clinton Fitch, Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com! on 31 Dec 2005 17:33 Wendy, It sounds like you have run into one of the limitations of Excel Mobile. Unfortunately it does not support some of the formatting that your desktop Excel produces. As Alan recommended, you may want to investigate SoftMaker's PlanMaker. It is compatible with Excel files and I personally haven't found an Excel feature/formula/content that it doesn't support. You can read a review of it on my site by going to http://www.clintonfitch.com/reviews.
