OK, I created a bunch of nifty spreadsheets on my Palm (Garmin 3600)
using Sheets to Go. Now, how do I transfer them to the Mac to open with
Excel so that I can edit or print them from the desktop?

When I simply copy (drag and drop) a file from SD Card reader to Mac
desktop, for example, Excel does not recognize it at all when I try to
open it.

For Doc to Go files, am I limited to editing them on the Palm only, or
can them be transferred back to the desktop?

On your handheld, in the document list, make sure there is a little
hotsync icon next to the document. Of course, Docs To Go needs to be
installed on your desktop.

For this to work, your docs must be created on the handheld as MS
Excel, not Sheet to Go.

As long as you have Docs to Go installed on the desktop, you should be
able to open the documents on the desktop, after you sync.

I don't think you even need DTG on the desktop in order to do this. If you
don't have DTG on the desktop then you won't be able to sync the docs or
spreadsheets on the handheld but you should be able to copy them from the SD
card to the Mac as you described. As Bruno pointed out you do need to
create them as Excel files on the handheld, not Sheet To Go. There should be
an option when you create a new spreadsheet to make it an Excel file.
