Easier to E-mail Spreadsheets via Palms

Users of Palm handheld devices will now have fewer steps to perform when sending and receiving spreadsheet attachments via e-mail. Cutting Edge Software, Inc. and Actual Software today unveils a seamless conduit that will allow users of Palm(R) handheld computers to automatically convert spreadsheets to the appropriate Excel or Quicksheet format when sending or receiving them as e-mail attachments. The new conduit works exclusively between Cutting Edge Software’s Quicksheet spreadsheet software and Actual Software’s MultiMail messaging software, both specifically designed for the Palm computing platform.

For the first time, users of Microsoft Excel(R) on the desktop will be able to e-mail Excel attachments to Palm users with Quicksheet installed – and the files will seamlessly convert to Quicksheet format during synchronization. Once received by the Palm users, the attachments can be viewed and edited. Likewise, if they prepare Quicksheet files in the field and want to e-mail them to someone else’s desktop when they synchronize, MultiMail will automatically convert Quicksheet files to Excel when they are delivered to the recipient.

"One of the biggest needs of mobile handheld users is to be able to receive files as e-mail attachments on their Palms – and, conversely, to be able to send e-mails with attachments from their Palm devices," said Mark Lussier, Actual Software’s chief technology officer. "The conduit with Quicksheet not only meets those needs, but converts files automatically to the appropriate desktop format."

"Our partnership with Actual Software is yet another significant development that makes Palm users more productive and gives businesses of all sizes more reasons to provide Palm devices to their employees," said Jeff Musa, president of Cutting Edge Software, Inc. "Together, Quicksheet and MultiMail are providing Palm users with the easy file attachments of spreadsheets they expect when combining their traditional desktop email software with Excel attachments. And better yet, we soon hope to provide this same kind of functionality in a totally wireless environment."
