Working with Expense data on your computer
After you enter your expenses into the Expense application on your handheld and 
perform a HotSync operation, Palm Desktop software enables you to do any of the 
following on your Windows computer. See the Palm Desktop software online help 
for details. This feature is not available on Mac computers.
nAdd, modify, and delete your Expense data.
nOrganize your Expense data by category, amount, date, type, or notes.
nView Expense data in various formats: List, Large Icons, or Small Icons.
nRecord individual expenses in various currencies and display the total in one 
selected currency type.
nPrint Expense reports.
nTransfer Expense data to other applications, such as Microsoft Excel, using the 
Send command or Export command, and import data in popular file formats.
Displaying the euro on your computer
When you perform a HotSync operation, the euro symbol is transferred to Palm 
Desktop software like any other piece of data on your handheld. The symbol 
appears in Palm Desktop software, however, only if you are using fonts that 
support the euro symbol.
These fonts are part of the operating system on your computer. They do not reside 
with your Desktop application, and they are not produced by Palm, Inc. For more 
information, refer to the documentation that accompanies your desktop 
computer ’s operating system. 
Printing the euro
Even with operating system support, problems may arise when you print 
documents that contain the euro. When a font is present on both the printer and 
the computer, the printer font is used by default to increase printing speed. If the 
printer font does not include the euro, a box is printed instead of the euro symbol.
You can work around this problem by transferring the expense data to another 
application and inserting a bitmap image of the euro into the document in the 
appropriate places, or by not using the printer ’s built-in fonts (if allowed).
