34 ENTERING DATA IN YOUR SMARTPHONE
Importing Data
If you have data stored in computer applications such as
spreadsheets and databases, or if you want to import data from
another device, you can transfer the data to your Smartphone
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 Smartphone.
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 devices based on the Palm Computing
®
platform
or to create a copy of your important Palm Desktop information.
