Dragging and dropping a book onto a Newton PDA

Once your computer and Newton PDA are connected, you can quickly move
information from your computer to your Newton PDA. Drag a document onto
the Newton Press application icon. The application automatically creates a
fully formatted book. After creating the book, the application installs it as a
package on the Newton PDA.

IMPORTANT

You must have the “Install package after Create” option selected

in the Preferences window to create books by dragging and dropping. For
more information, see Chapter 7, “Setting Preferences.”

To drag and drop a document onto a Newton PDA:

1

Connect the Newton PDA to the computer.

2

On your computer, drag a document onto the Newton Press icon.

The Newton Press application opens, adds the document to a book, and then
prepares to install the book. A message appears telling you to establish a
connection using your Newton PDA.

3

On your Newton PDA, set up the connection by opening the Extras Drawer and tapping

Connection.

4

Specify the type of connection used by the Newton PDA and tap Connect.

The Newton PDA and computer establish a connection and you see a
progress message as the book package is transferred to the Newton PDA.

You can also select several documents in the File Manager and drag them
onto the application all at once.
