• Columns are named using the letters of the alphabet from A to Z, while
rows are numbered sequentially from 1 to 999.
• The maximum capacity for a single sheet is about 32KB (about 1,900
cells when each cell contains one character, without any format settings
or borderlines). The message “Sheet is too big!” appears on the display
whenever the contents of a file exceeds this limit.
If a sheet being received by the unit during a Pocket Sheet Sync operation
exceeds the maximum limit (about 32KB), the excess cell data is
automatically cut off. In this case, the sync operation ends normally,
with no indication that the data was cut off. This means you should
always check sheet contents visually after a sync operation is complete.
• A cell is referred to using its cell reference, which is made up of the
cell’s column name and row number. This means that the cell reference
of the upper left cell in the above sheet is A1, and the cell reference of
the lower right cell is D5.
• The active cell is the one that is currently selected for input. The active
cell is highlighted.
• The numeric keyboard appears first whenever you open a new sheet.

Making a Cell the Active Cell
You can make a cell active by tapping it with the stylus so it becomes
highlighted. You can also move the highlighting around the display using
the scroll bar as described below.
• Tapping the gray areas of the scroll bar scrolls the entire screen with the
highlighted active cursor in the same relative position in the newly
displayed screen.
Selecting a Range of Cells
While a sheet is open on the display, drag the stylus across the range of cells
you want to select. The cells become highlighted as you drag across them.
• Dragging straight left or right selects a range of cells in the same row.
• Dragging straight up or down selects a range of cells in the same column.
• Dragging diagonally selects a block of cells (multiple rows and columns).
Jumping to a Specific Cell in a Sheet
Important!
• You cannot jump to a cell located inside a row or column that is frozen. To
jump to such a cell, you must unfreeze the row or column first.
To do this:
Move the highlighting one cell left
Move the highlighting one cell right
Move the highlighting one cell up
Move the highlighting one cell down

Inputting Data Into a Cell
This section explains the rules and procedures for inputting text, values, and
mathematical expressions into sheet cells. It also contains detailed information
on the various cell functions that are available.
General Input Rules
The following are the general rules that you should observe whenever
inputting data.
• Anything you enter on the keyboard is input into the sheet’s active cell.
• You can input up to 256 characters into each cell.
• Mixing text and numbers inside the same cell causes everything in the
cell to be treated as text.
• Do not manually input commas as separators inside values. Doing so
interferes with correct display of calculation results. Use the procedure
under “Changing the Format Settings of a Cell” on page 95 to turn on
automatic comma separators.
