Using your computer keyboard
Many of the applications on your communicator are available in Palm Desktop software and in
most Personal Information Manager (PIM) applications. 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 such
as Microsoft Outlook, to enter information. You can then perform a HotSync
®
operation to
synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your communicator. See
the section that begins on page 78 for details on HotSync operations.
Refer to Palm Desktop online Help or the documentation that came with your PIM software 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
communicator 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 communicator.
