    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 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 Book on your handheld. 
    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 
    handheld to display the Address list.
    2. Tap New.
    3. Enter the last name of the person you want to add to your 
    Address Book. 
    Note:
    Your 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.

    4. Use the Next Field Graffiti stroke to move to the First Name field.
    Tip:
    You can also move to any field by tapping it directly.
    5. Enter the persons first name in the First Name field.
    6. Enter the other information that you want to include in this entry.
    Note: 
    As you enter letters in the Title, Company, City, and State 
    fields, text appears for the first logical match that exists in 
    your Address Book. As you enter more letters, a closer 
    match appears. For example, you may already have 
    Sacramento and San Francisco in your Address Book. As 
    you enter “S” Sacramento appears, and as you continue 
    entering “a” and “n” San Francisco replaces Sacramento. 
    As soon as the word you want appears, tap in the next field 
    to accept the word.
    7. Tap the scroll arrows   to move to the next page of information.
    8. After you finish entering information, tap Done.
    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.

    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.
