Executive Tip Summary
Palm Desktop is your PC’s central clearinghouse for data going to and from your PalmPilot, even if it isn’t your regularly scheduled address book/calendar program.
In Palm Desktop, you can create new appointments in your Date Book by dragging Address Book names or To Do task items from the lower-right corner of the screen directly onto the day-view display.
You can drag an event from the day-view list directly onto a tiny month-view square to reschedule it to a different date.
Click a time-slot label at the left side of the day- or week-view display to create a new appointment at that time.
Switch among day, week, and month views by pressing D, W, or M along with the Alt key.
Create a blank line at the end of each address’s data. That translates into a nice blank line after each address when you print out your contact list.
In the Edit Event dialog box, each press of the + key sets the time ahead 15 minutes, and the - key sets the time earlier by 15 minutes.
When entering new addresses into Palm Desktop, don’t bother clicking OK to close the dialog box after finishing each address. Instead, press Alt-N to enter the address and refresh the dialog box to its empty, ready-for-the-next-one condition.
