without a due date.

Once a project or task is completed, and you no longer need the To Do reminder, you can delete the entry, or groups of entries, which will free up memory in the Organizer. See p.88.

Using categories

A category is a name that you assign to an entry so it can be grouped with other entries for subsequent selective access. You can use categories to organize your information, for example, to group tasks by project, personnel, or other criteria that you may find useful. Up to 32 different categories can be used in the To Do application, and up to five categories can be assigned to each entry. Once a word is entered within an entry as a category, that word is automatically stored and sorted alphabetically in the category list, from which you can select a category to assign to an entry. You can also manually add a word directly to the category list, as well as editing and deleting words in the list.

Be careful when manually adding categories because the Organizer distinguishes between upper- and lower-case letters for category names. For example, “For John” and “for john” are treated as different categories.
