Two screen features tell you when your handheld is in editing mode:

nOne or more dotted edit lines
NOTEIn Note Pad you can write anywhere on the screen. Therefore, you will 
not see an edit line or blinking cursor unless the cursor is in the title line. 
Entering text
For information on how to enter text using the keyboard on your handheld or the 
keyboard attached to your computer, see Chapter 3. For information on entering 
text in Note Pad, see Chapter 12.

commands available in the Edit menu apply to text that you select in an application.

of your handheld. You can paste the text you cut into another area 
of the current application or into a different application.

A confirmation dialog box appears. If you want to save a copy of the deleted 
item to an archive file in Palm™ Desktop software, be sure that the check box is 
selected. If you don’t want to save a copy, tap the check box to deselect it. 
4.Press Function   + Enter , or tap OK.
If you choose to save a copy of the selected item, your handheld transfers it to the 
archive file on your desktop the next time you perform a HotSync operation. (The 
archive option is not available in Note Pad.)
Other ways to delete records
You can also delete records in the following ways:
nDelete the text of the record.
nIn Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad, open the Details dialog 
box for the record, tap Delete, and then press Function   + Enter 
, or tap 
OK.
NOTEWhen deleting a repeating event in Date Book, you can choose to delete 
the current repeating event, current and future events, or all instances of that 
event.
nIn Note Pad, open the note you want to delete, and then tap Delete.
Purging records
Over time, as you use Date Book, To Do List, and Expense, you’ll accumulate 
records that have outlived their usefulness. For example, events that occurred 
months ago remain in the Date Book, and To Do List items that you marked as 
completed remain in the list, as do Expense items.
All these outdated records take up memory on your handheld, so it’s a good idea 
to remove them by using Purge. If you think Date Book or To Do List records might 
prove useful later, you can purge them from your handheld and save them in an 
archive file on your computer.
Purging is not available in Address Book, Note Pad, or Memo Pad; you must delete 
outdated records manually from these applications.
To purge records:
1.Open the application.
2.Press Command Stroke   + E.
Alternately, press Function   + Menu  , and then select Purge on the 
Record menu. 
A confirmation dialog box appears. 
Date Book: Tap the pick list and select how old a record must be to be purged. 
Purge deletes repeating events if the last of the series ends before the date that 
you purge records.

Date Book, To Do List: If you want to save a copy of the purged records to an 
archive file on your desktop, be sure that the check box is selected. If you don’t 
want to save a copy, tap the check box to deselect it.
Expense: Select the category you want to purge. All data in the selected category 
will be purged and there is no archive option.
3.Press Function   + Enter , or tap OK or Done.
If you chose to save a copy of the purged records, your handheld transfers them to 
an archive file on your desktop the next time you perform a HotSync operation.
NOTEPurging does not happen automatically. You must select the command to 
make it happen.
Categorizing records
You can categorize records in the Address Book, To Do List, Note Pad, Memo Pad, 
and Expense applications so that they are grouped logically and are easy to review. 
When you create a record, your handheld automatically places it in the category 
that is currently displayed. If the category is All, your handheld assigns it to the 
Unfiled category. You can leave an entry as Unfiled or assign it to a category at any 
time.
By default, your handheld includes system-defined categories, such as All and 
Unfiled, and user-defined categories, such as Business and Personal. 
You cannot modify the system-defined categories, but you can rename and delete 
the user-defined categories. In addition, you can create your own user-defined 
categories. You can have a maximum of 15 user-defined categories in each 
application. 
When you have an expansion card properly seated in the expansion card slot, the 
last item in the category pick list is the name of the expansion card. You cannot 
otherwise categorize applications that reside on an expansion card.
Address Book contains the QuickList user-defined category, in which you can store 
the names, addresses, and phone numbers you might need in emergencies (doctor, 
fire department, lawyer, and so on).
Expense contains two user-defined categories, New York and Paris, to show how 
you might sort your expenses according to different business trips.
The illustrations in this section come from Address Book, but you can use these 
procedures in all the applications in which categories are available. 
To move a record into a category:
1.Select the record you want to categorize.
2.In Address Book only: Tap Edit.
3.Ta p  D e t a i l s .
