PTab Spreadsheet Program
PTab
is a fully functional spreadsheet program designed to run on
Microsoft CE Field PCs. It has the key features of common desktop
spreadsheet programs.
You can easily create spreadsheets on the field computer or download
an existing Excel
spreadsheet from the desktop PC. Using ActiveSync,
files created in PTab are automatically converted to Excel files on the
desktop PC and Excel files are converted back to PTab files on the
Allegro.

Excel Considerations
Follow these guidelines when you set up and save an Excel file that is
going to be converted to PTab on the Allegro:
- If the Excel file has graphics incorporated into it, the spreadsheet
cannot be converted to a PTab file. We recommend that you make a
copy of the Excel spreadsheet, remove the graphics, then convert the
modified copy.
- Do not use macros in the file.
- Save the file as an Excel 97 or version 5.0 file for best results.
