Apple Newton Press (Macintosh) - Manual (Page 18)

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 book after creating” 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 Macintosh 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
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 on the desktop and drag them onto the
application all at once. Newton Press adds the documents to the book in the
order in which they are displayed in the window. For example, if your
documents are displayed in order by date, Newton Press adds the document
by order of date.
