Chapter 4 Page 96 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. Tap New Cursor at Last name

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.
