    Application-specific tasks
    Date Book
    When you open Date Book, the screen shows the current date and a 
    list of times for a normal business day. 
    Scheduling an event
    A record in Date Book is called an “event.” An event can be any kind 
    of activity that you associate with a day. You can enter a new event on 
    any of the available time lines. 
    When you schedule an event, its description appears on the time line, 
    and its duration is automatically set to one hour. You can easily 
    change the start time and duration for any event.
    Note:It’s possible to schedule events that overlap, but Date Book 
    makes it easy to find such conflicts. See “Spotting event 
    conflicts” later in this chapter.
    You can also schedule events in your Date Book that occur on a 
    particular date but have no specific start or end times, such as 
    birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. These are referred to as 
    “untimed events.” Untimed events appear at the top of the list of 
    times, marked with a diamond. You can have more than one untimed 
    event on a particular date.
    You can also schedule a repeating event, such as a weekly meeting, 
    and continuous events, such as a three-day conference or a vacation.
    To schedule an event for the current day:
    1. Tap the time line that corresponds to the beginning of the event. 
    						
    							Page 98  Using Your Basic Applications
    2. Enter a description of the event. You can enter up to 255 characters.
    3. If the event is one hour long, skip to step 5. If the event is longer or 
    shorter than an hour, tap the time of the event to open the Set Time 
    dialog box. 
    Tip:You can also open the Set Time dialog (to select a start 
    time) by making sure no event is selected, and then 
    writing a number on the number side of the Graffiti 
    writing area.
    4. Do one of the following:
    Tap the time columns on the right side of the Set Time dialog to 
    set the Start Time, then tap the End Time box and tap the time 
    columns to set the End Time.
    Tap All Day to automatically insert the start and end time of the 
    event as defined in your Date Book preferences.

    appears next to the time, indicating the duration of the event.
    Note:If an event has the same start and end time, the time is 
    only displayed once.
    To schedule an event for another day:
    1. Select the date you want for the event by doing one of the 
    following: 
    nTap the day of the week that you want in the date bar at the top of 
    the screen. If necessary, tap the Previous week or Next week scroll 
    arrows to move to another week.
    Tip:You can also use the scroll button on the front panel of 
    your handheld to move forward or backward one day at 
    a time.
    nTap Go To at the bottom of the screen to open the Go to Date dialog 
    box. Select a date by tapping a year, month, and day in the 
    calendar.
