“Importing Into Newton Works.”

About importing

You can import information from your computer to your Newton device in the
following ways:
m Direct import: The Newton Connection Utilities come with translators that

convert files created by popular PIM (personal information manager)
applications into information on your Newton device.

For a list of translators included with the Newton Connection Utilities, see
the Readme file installed with the Newton Connection Utilities software.

m Text files: Many applications can create delimited text files for use with

Newton applications. You can import from a text file when no translator
exists for the application you want to use.

IMPORTANT

It’s a good idea to make a backup of information on your Newton

device before you import. For more information on backing up your Newton
device, see Chapter 2, “Backing Up and Restoring Information.”
