To look up an Address Book record:
1. Display the Address List screen.
2. Enter the first letter of the name you want to find.
The list scrolls to the first entry that begins with that letter. If 
you write another letter, the list scrolls to the first entry that 
starts with those two letters. For example, writing an “s” scrolls 
to “Sands,” and writing “sm” scrolls further to “Smith.” If you 
sort the list by company name, the Look Up feature scrolls to 
the first letter of the company name.
3. Tap the record to view its contents.
Using Find
You can use Find to locate any text that you specify, in any 
application.
To use Find:
1. Tap the Find icon  .
Tip:If you select text in an application before you tap Find, the 
selected text automatically appears in the Find dialog box.
2. Enter the text that you want to find. 
Find is not case-sensitive. For example, searching for the name 
“davidson” also finds “Davidson.”
Find locates any words that begin with the text you enter. For 
example, searching for “plane” finds “planet,” but not “air-
plane.”
3. Tap OK. 
Find searches for the text in all records and all notes.

Phone Lookup displays the Address List screen and lets you add the 
information that appears in this list to a record.

first letter you enter. Continue to spell the name you’re looking 
for, or when you see the name, tap it.

5. Tap Add.
The name you selected, along with the other information associated 
with it, is pasted into the record you selected in step 1.
Phone Lookup tips
Write the Graffiti Command stroke “/L” to activate the Phone Lookup 
feature. You can also activate it in the following circumstances:
nWhile entering text: For example, to insert the full name and phone 
number for someone with the last name “Williams,” write the 
Graffiti characters for “Wi” and then the Phone Lookup 
Command stroke “/L.”
Assuming you have only one Address Book record that begins 
with “Wi,” your organizer inserts the full name “Williams” (and 
its associated information). If you have more than one name that 
begins with “Wi,” the Phone Lookup screen appears and 
highlights the first record that begins with “Wi.”
nFor selected text: Drag to highlight the text, and then write the Phone 
Lookup Command stroke “/L.” Your organizer replaces the 
selected text and adds the name and its associated information.
Looking up names to add to expense records

have data in the Company field. You can add these names to a list of 
attendees associated with an Expense record.

Application-specific tasks
Date Book
When you open Date Book, the screen shows the current date and a 
list of times for a normal business day. 
Scheduling an event
A record in Date Book is called an “event.” An event can be any kind 
of activity that you associate with a day. You can enter a new event on 
any of the available time lines. 
When you schedule an event, its description appears on the time line, 
and its duration is automatically set to one hour. You can easily 
change the start time and duration for any event.
Note:It’s possible to schedule events that overlap, but Date Book 
makes it easy to find such conflicts. See “Spotting event 
conflicts” later in this chapter.
You can also schedule events in your Date Book that occur on a 
particular date but have no specific start or end times, such as 
birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. These are referred to as 
“untimed events.” Untimed events appear at the top of the list of 
times, marked with a diamond. You can have more than one untimed 
event on a particular date.
You can also schedule a repeating event, such as a weekly meeting, 
and continuous events, such as a three-day conference or a vacation.
To schedule an event for the current day:
1. Tap the time line that corresponds to the beginning of the event.

writing area.
