Usability

I love spreadsheet applications.� I've used Lotus 123, and when I was in high school I had an Excel file with me and my friend Lance's bowling averages neatly laid out and graphed.� Now with the color capability of TinySheet, I was looking forward to seeing if a Palm OS application can keep the essence of simplicity and ease of use that desktop spreadsheet applications bring.

File listingUsing TinySheet is very easy.� When you open the application there is a listing of spreadsheet files and their size.� Incidentally, TinySheet files are pretty, well, tiny.� Even my wife's Christmas list with all the things we're buying for our families came in at only 5.2 Kb on the Visor vs. 17 Kb in Windows.� Tap on the file you wish to open or tap and hold to bring up a list of options (Edit, Delete, Duplicate, Beam, or Details).� Use the buttons on the bottom to sort by Name or Size.

PreferencesSelect Tools | Preferences to change Global Find options and to let the Address and To Do hard buttons be the left and right arrows.� This particular option is a must-use for those wide spreadsheets and is one of my favorite features in TinySheet.� The Visor's screen is so small that you will be doing plenty of scrolling.� This is the first option you should turn on.

Mini CalculatorIf you frequently use Excel, picking up on TinySheet won't take long.� Use the stylus to select a cell or to change row/column widths by tapping and dragging the line separator between rows/columns.� A quick calculator button at the top right of the screen lets you do some quick calculations for a cell.� The sigma (E) button lets you quickly enter a formula for adding a selection of numbers (see picture).
