synching excel

I run active synch 4.5. Recently I had to do a master reset on my phone.
However, when I looked for excel backups,. I could not find them

is it possible to backup excel from my phone to my desk? How?

I created it on my cellphone. I wasnt thinking and assumed anything on the
phone would be synched with my desktop.

So do I have to create the excel format on my desktop and store it as
suggested and then it will update?

i understand and have stored excel files in the appropriate My Doc folder.
Just to clearify, I did not save the original document to "my docs" on the
desktop because I created the file on cellphone, and assumed it was backed up
automatically.

Also, while I am at it, I can plug in my cell phone and my dektop will
acknowledge the connection with a sound, but active synch does not and cannot
find the phone. I can unplug, get widows acknowledgement of unplugging, then
replug it in, windows acknowledges, and active synch may or may not respond.
Is it me or a typical windows glych thaks
