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 Micro soft®

Outlook®, to enter information. You can then p erform a HotSync® operation to synchro nize 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 no t need to learn different applications.

Refer to the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software online Help for more informati on on entering data on your

computer.

If you have data stored in compu ter applications such as spreadsheets, a nd databases, or if you want to

import data from another handheld , you can transfer the data to yo ur 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 Pa lm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software, and then p erform a HotSync® operation to trans fer

the data to your CLIÉ handheld (see Using HotSync® operations (page 74)).
