SYMPTOMS
When you use Pocket Excel, if you click Cells, and then click Custom on the Format menu, some of the custom format options may contain squares and other extended characters.

In addition, if you select one of these custom format options, the cells you format may become unreadable.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because Pocket Excel cannot convert some of the custom format options available in Microsoft Excel.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is a limitation of Microsoft Windows CE Services.
