Performing Common Tasks

The tasks described in this section use the term 

record

 to refer to an individual item in any of the

basic applications, for example, a single Date Book event, Address Book entry, To Do List item, or
Memo Pad memo.

Creating records

You can use the following procedure to create a new record in Date Book, Address Book, To Do List,
and Memo Pad.

To create a record:

1.

Select the application in which you want to create a record.

2.

Tap New. (For the Date Book only, select start and end times for your appointment and tap OK.)

3.

Enter text for the record.

NOTE

The RDA automatically capitalizes the first letter of each field (except numeric and e-mail fields).

4.

As an option, tap Details to select attributes for the record.

5.

In the Address Book and Memo Pad only, tap Done.

Your RDA saves the new record automatically.

Editing records

After you create a record, you can change, delete, or add new information at any time. When the
screen is in edit mode, a blinking cursor appears within the information, and the information appears
on a dotted gray line called an edit line.

You can enter text in any of the ways described in chapter 2,
