File conversion from desktop Excel to Pocket Excel works the same as before. Simply drag the file you want from the desktop to the H/PC or from the H/PC to the desktop and conversion and file transfer happen automatically. It's important that you install Microsoft Office before installing H/PC Explorer so that H/PC Explorer can find the desktop version of Excel and it's associated converter software modules during setup.
