Using your computer keyboard
If you have a lot of data to enter, or simply prefer to use the computer keyboard, you can use Palm™
Desktop for CLIÉ software or any other supported personal information manager (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 CLIÉ handheld.
All the main applications on your CLIÉ handheld are also available in the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software
and in most PIMs, so you do not need to learn different applications.
Refer to the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software online Help for more information on entering data on your
computer.
If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets, and databases, or if you want to
import data from another handheld, you can transfer the data to your CLIÉ handheld and use it without
entering data manually. Save the data in a compatible file format (.csv,.txt,.tab,.tsv,.dba,.aba,.tda,.mpa),
import it into your Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software, and then perform a HotSync
®
operation to transfer
the data to your CLIÉ handheld (see Using HotSync® operations (page 74)).
