Using your computer keyboard

If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer keyboard, you can
use Palm Desktop software or any supported personal information manager (PIM)
to enter information. You can then perform a HotSync operation to synchronize the
information on your computer with the information on your handheld. Many of
the applications that came with your handheld are also available in Palm Desktop
software and in most PIMs, so you don't need to learn different applications. For
more information on entering data on your computer, refer to the online Help in
Palm Desktop software and the Palm Desktop Software for the Macintosh User's Guide
on the Desktop Software CD-ROM.

Importing data

If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets and
databases, or if you want to import data from another handheld, you can transfer
the data to your handheld without having to enter it manually. Save the data in one
of the file formats in the following list, import it into Palm Desktop software, and
then perform a HotSync operation to transfer the data to your handheld.
