    Address
    Address is the application in which you store name and address 
    information about people or businesses.
    Creating an Address entry
    A record in Address 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 on your handheld. 
    See “Importing data” in Chapter 2 and Palm Desktop online Help for 
    more information.
    To create a new Address entry:
    1. Press the Address application button   on the front of your 
    handheld to display the Address list.
    2. Tap New.
    3. Enter the last name of the person you want to add to your 
    Address list. 
    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.

    6. Enter the other information that you want to include in this entry.
    7. Tap the scroll arrows   to move to the next page of information.

    Tip:
    To create an entry that always appears at the top of the 
    Address list, begin the Last name or Company field with a 
    symbol, as in *If Found Call*. This entry can contain contact 
    information in case you lose your handheld.
    Duplicating an entry
    You can duplicate existing entries, which can be helpful when you 
    want to enter multiple people from a single organization. When you 
    duplicate an entry, the word Copy
     appears next to the name in the First 
    Name field. 
    To duplicate an entry:
    1. From the Address list, tap a name you want to duplicate.
    1. Tap the Menu icon  .
    2. Tap Record, and then tap Duplicate Record. 
    3. Edit the entry as necessary. Next Field
