Using your computer keyboard
If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer
keyboard, you can use Palm™ Desktop software, or any supported
PIM, to enter information. You can then perform a HotSync
®
operation
to synchronize the information on your computer with the
information on your handheld. All the main applications on your
handheld are available in Palm Desktop software and in most PIMs.
Refer to Palm Desktop online Help for more information on entering
data on your computer.
Importing data
If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets
and databases, or if you want to import data from another Palm OS
®
handheld, you can transfer the data to your handheld without having
to key it in manually. Save the data in one of the file formats listed
below, import it into Palm Desktop software, and then perform a
HotSync operation to transfer the data to your handheld.
Palm Desktop software can import data in the following file formats:
■
Comma delimited (.csv, .txt): Address Book and Memo Pad only
■
Tab delimited (.tab, .tsv, .txt): Address Book and Memo Pad only
■
CSV (Lotus Organizer 2.x/97 Mapping): Address Book only
■
Date Book archive (.dba)
■
Address Book archive (.aba)
■
To Do List archive (.tda)
■
Memo Pad archive (.mpa)
Archive formats can only be used with Palm Desktop software. Use
the archive file formats to share information with other people who
use Palm OS handhelds or to create a copy of your important Palm
Desktop information.
