This chapter explains how to enter data into your handheld. There are several
ways to enter data into your handheld:
■ Using the onscreen keyboard
■ Using Graffiti

writing
■ Beaming data from another Palm OS

handheld that is close by and has an
infrared port.
■ Entering or importing data in Palm™ Desktop software and then synchronizing
with your handheld
■ Using Note Pad
■ Using a portable keyboard accessory, sold separately, and attached to the
universal connector
Using the onscreen keyboard
You can open the onscreen keyboard anytime you need to enter text or numbers on
your handheld. You can also use Graffiti writing when the keyboard is open, which
makes it easy to switch between these two methods of entering data.
To use the onscreen keyboard:
1. Open any application (such as Memo Pad).
2. Tap any record, or tap New.
3. Tap “abc” to open the alphabetic keyboard, or tap “123” to open the numeric
keyboard.
4. Tap the characters to enter text and numbers.
