Using Palm Desktop software

If you have new records you want to add to your Visor handheld and
prefer to use the computer keyboard rather than the onscreen
keyboard, enter the data in the Palm Desktop software or the PIM you
have installed to use with your handheld.

After the information is in Palm Desktop software, perform a HotSync
operation to synchronize your handheld with your computer. See
“Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations” in Chapter 5 for

more information.

Importing data

If you already have data in a database on your computer, you can
import it into the Palm Desktop software. You can import data stored
in computer applications such as spreadsheets and databases, or data
from another handheld that is compatible with the Palm Computing
platform. When you import data, you transfer the records to your
Visor handheld without having to enter them manually. See
“Importing data” in Chapter 2 for
more information.
