Importing data from a Mac computer
Palm Desktop software can import data from any applications that can export the
data in any of the following file formats:
■ Tab-delimited file
■ Text
■ Palm Desktop software for Mac
■ vCal (.vcs)
■ vCard (.vcf)
For example, you can export tab-delimited files from applications such as:
FileMaker Pro, Meeting Maker, Now Contact, and Now Up-to-Date.
To import data from a Mac computer:
1. Open Palm Desktop software.
2. From the File menu, select Import.
3. Select the file you want to import.
4. Click Open.
5. If you want to change the order of the fields you’re importing, point to a field,
wait for the cursor to change to a double arrow, and then drag the field to a new
location.
6. If you do not want to import a field, click the arrow between the field names.
7. From the Fields pop-up menu, select the appropriate field.
8. From the Delimiters pop-up menu, select the appropriate delimiter.
9. Click OK.
10. To add the imported data to your handheld, perform a HotSync operation.
See Palm Desktop online Help for more information on importing and exporting
data.
Using Note Pad
In addition to using Graffiti 2 characters and the onscreen keyboard, you can enter
data on your handheld using the Note Pad application. When you use Note Pad,
you write quick notes directly on the handheld screen in your own handwriting.
