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.

information in case you lose your handheld.

The priority setting for items lets you arrange your To Do items 
according to their importance or urgency. The default setting is to 
arrange To Do 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 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.
