software to synchronizing with Outlook.
WINDOWS ONLY
During CD installation, you chose a desktop software application to synchronize with your
handheld. You may have chosen Palm Desktop software at that time. But if Microsoft Outlook
already contains all of your contacts, appointments, tasks, and notes, you can change your
synchronization method so that your handheld synchronizes with Outlook instead. You can also
change from Outlook to Palm Desktop software.
If you choose to synchronize with Outlook, info from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and
Memos is synchronized with info in Outlook. You can also set up the VersaMail
®
application to
synchronize with Outlook. Other info, such as photos and notes, is synchronized with info in
Palm Desktop software.
1. Insert the CD into your computer.
2. Select Change your synchronization method.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions for the desktop software you want to use.
