Creating an Address Book entry | Handspring Visor specs

Address Book

Address Book is the application in which you store name and address information about people or businesses.

Creating an Address Book entry

A record in Address Book is called an “entry.” You can create entries on your handheld, or you can use Palm Desktop software to create entries on your computer and then download the entries to your handheld with your next HotSync operation.

Palm Desktop software also has data import capabilities that enable you to load database files into Address Book on your handheld.

See “Importing data” in Chapter 2 and Palm Desktop online Help for more information.

To create a new Address Book entry:

1.Press the Address Book application button on the front of your handheld to display the Address List.

2.Tap New.

Cursor at Last name

Tap New

3.Enter the last name of the person you want to add to your Address Book.

Note: The handheld automatically capitalizes the first letter of each field (except numeric and e-mail fields). You do not have to use the Graffiti capital stroke to capitalize the first letter of the name.
