Using the onscreen keyboard

You can open the onscreen keyboard anytime you need to enter text or numbers on your

useful for typing in the dark.

1. Open a record in an application that requires you to enter data (such as Memo Pad).
2. Press Menu
3. Under Edit, select Keyboard (/K).
4. Tap the characters to enter text, numbers, and international characters.

Note: The onscreen keyboard also includes a dialog box for international characters. You
can switch among the three dialogs at any time to enter the exact text you need.
5. After you finish, tap Done to close the onscreen keyboard and place the text in the record.

Using your computer keyboard

Many of the applications on your handheld are available in Palm Desktop software and in most
Personal Information Manager (PIM) applications. 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 PIM such
as Microsoft Outlook, to enter information. You can then perform a HotSync
synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your handheld. See the
section that begins on page 76 for details on HotSync operations.
Refer to Palm Desktop online Help or the documentation that came with your PIM software for
more information on entering data on your computer.
