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 transfer the entries to your handheld with your next HotSync
® 
operation.
Palm Desktop software also has data import capabilities so that you can load 
database files into Address Book on your handheld. 
See“Importing data” in Chapter 3 and the 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. 
The handheld automatically capitalizes the first letter of each field (except 
numeric and e-mail fields). You do not have to use the Graffiti
® 2 capital stroke 
to capitalize the first letter of the name.
4.Tap the First Name field.
5.Enter the first name of the person in the First Name field.
6.Enter the other information that you want to include in this entry.
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 the next field to accept the word.
