Book, or To Do List.

• Take notes or write any kind of message on your connected organizer.
• Drag and drop memos into popular computer applications like Microsoft

Word when you synchronize using Palm™
Desktop software and HotSync

technology.
• Assign memos to categories so that you can organize and view them in logical groups.

applications.

Creating Memos
A record in the Memo Pad is called a memo. A memo can contain up to 4,000 characters. The number of memos you can store is
limited only by the memory available on your handheld.
When you create a new memo, you can add information to it from the Address Book application, such as a phone number or
address, using the Phone Lookup option. See

is automatically capitalized and begins your new memo.

memo.
