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.Ta p  N e w.
3.Enter the last name of the person you want to add to your 
Address Book. 
NOTEThe 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.
TIPYou can also move to any field by tapping it directly.
5.Enter the person’s first name in the First Name field.

6.Enter the other information that you want to include in this entry.
NOTEAs 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.
TIPTo 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.
Selecting types of phone numbers
You can select the types of phone numbers or e-mail addresses that you associate 
with an Address Book entry. Any changes you make apply only to the current 
entry.
