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 organizer, or you can use Palm Desktop software to create 
entries on your computer and then download the entries to your 
organizer 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 organizer. 
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 
organizer to display the Address List.
2. Tap New.
3. Enter the last name of the person you want to add to your 
Address Book.

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.

To Do List
A To Do List item is a reminder of some task that you have to 
complete. A record in To Do List is called an “item.”
To create a To Do List item:
1. Press the To Do List application button   on the front of your 
organizer to display the To Do List.
2. Tap New.
3. Enter the text of the To Do List item. The text can be longer than 
one line.
4. Tap anywhere onscreen to deselect the To Do List item.
Tip:If no To Do List item is currently selected, writing in the 
Graffiti writing area automatically creates a new item.
Setting priority
The priority setting for items lets you arrange the tasks in your To Do 
List according to their importance or urgency. The default setting for 
the To Do List is to arrange items by priority and due date, with 
priority 1 items at the top. If you have a number of items in your list, 
changing an item’s priority setting may move its position in the list. 
Note:When you create a new To Do List item, its priority is 
automatically set to level 1, the highest (most important) level. 
If you select another item first, however, the item you create 
appears beneath the selected item and is given the same 
priority as the selected item.
