Palm Desktop Software
Palm Desktop software includes the same main applications as
your Smartphone. Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, Memo
Pad, Expense, and desktop e-mail connectivity. You can use the
HotSync feature of this software to back up and exchange data
between your Smartphone and your computer.
It’s a good idea to back up your data in case something happens
to the data on your Smartphone. Changes you make on your
Smartphone or Palm Desktop software appear in both places
after you synchronize.
With Palm Desktop software, you can do the following:
• Work with your Smartphone applications on your computer.
Palm Desktop software duplicates the Date Book, Address
Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad applications on your
Smartphone, so that you can view, enter, and modify any data
stored on your Smartphone.
• Back up the data stored on your Smartphone with HotSync
technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop
software. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures
your data is always safe and up-to-date. See “Exchanging and
Updating Data: HotSync Operations” in Chapter x for more
information.
• Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from
other desktop applications into any of your main applications.
See “Importing Data” in Chapter x for more information.
• Print your Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad
information on any printer.
12 GETTING STARTED

To ensure a safe and uninterrupted installation of Palm Desktop
software, do the following before installing:
• Turn off your computer and connect the cradle to it. Do not
place your Smartphone in the cradle until instructed.
• If you are installing from floppy disks (rather than the CD
included in the box), make sure that the original Palm Desktop
software disks are write-protected, and then make backup
copies of them. When you have finished, use the copies to
install the software, and store the original disks in a safe
place. Refer to your computer’s manual or operating system
documentation for information on locking or copying diskettes.
• Do not copy the Palm Desktop software files to your
computer’s hard disk. You must use the installer to place the
files in their proper locations and to decompress the files.

Entering Data Using Graffiti
You can use Graffiti writing commands to create letters,
numbers, punctuation, and symbols. The Graffiti writing strokes
include all letters, numbers, and symbols found on a standard
keyboard.
Writing Graffiti Characters
With only a few minutes of practice, you’ll find it easy to enter
accurate text and numbers using Graffiti writing strokes. Follow
these guidelines to learn and use Graffiti writing strokes
successfully:
• To achieve 100% accuracy, practice
drawing characters exactly as they
appear in the tables later in this
chapter.
• The heavy dot on each shape indicates where to start the
stroke. Some characters have similar shapes, but different
starting and ending points. Always start the stroke at the
heavy dot. (Do not draw the heavy dot; it is there only as a
guideline.)
• Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the
stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your Smartphone
recognizes and displays the text character immediately. The
Graffiti writing strokes for letters closely resemble uppercase
letters of the standard English alphabet, and many Graffiti
strokes are part of their standard alphabet equivalents.
24 ENTERING DATA IN YOUR SMARTPHONE
To write Graffiti letters:
1. Tap the screen where you want to
write text, for example, on a line
next to a time in the Date Book.
2. Use the tables on the page xx to find
the stroke shape for the letter you
want to write. For example, the stroke
shown below creates the letter n.
You use the same shape to create both
the uppercase and lowercase version
of a letter.
Write letters here
Division marks
Write numbers here
A blinking cursor appears
on the screen before you
can begin writing text.
Lift stylus here.
Start stroke at heavy dot.
• The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts, one for
writing letters and one for writing numbers. The small marks at
the top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area indicate the two
areas. To have your Smartphone recognize characters and
numbers, you must begin character strokes on the left side,
and number strokes on the right side of the Graffiti writing
area.

3. Position the stylus in the left hand side of the Graffiti writing
area.
4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape
as it appears in the tables.
5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
Your Smartphone recognizes your stroke immediately and
displays the letter at the insertion point onscreen. As soon as
you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for
the next character you want to write.
Graffiti Tips
When using Graffiti writing, keep the following tips in mind:
• For greater accuracy, draw letters with large strokes; strokes
that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area are easily interpreted.
• To delete characters, set the insertion point to the right of the
character you want to delete, and draw the Backspace stroke
(a line from right to left) in the Graffiti writing area.
• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can produce errors.
• Do not write at a slant. Keep vertical strokes should be parallel
to the sides of the Graffiti writing area.
• When letters and numbers can be written using two different
strokes, use the one that’s easiest for you.
• Press firmly.

Writing Capital Letters
Graffiti writing automatically capitalizes the first letter of a new
record or sentence. To write additional capital letters, you must
first write a command to shift to Caps mode— just as you press
the Shift key on a keyboard—and then write the desired
character stroke.
To write capital letters:
1. Choose from the following options:
• To enter a single capital letter, write the Shift stroke. Then
write the character stroke.
When Caps Shift is active, an Up arrow appears in the
lower right corner of the screen.
• To enter all capital letters (Caps Lock), write the Caps Lock
stroke, as shown below. All subsequent letters are
capitalized.
When Caps Lock is active, an underlined Up arrow appears
in the lower right corner of the screen.
2. To return to lowercase or release the Caps Lock, press
Backspace or draw the Caps Shift stroke again.

Writing Punctuation Marks
You can create any punctuation symbol available from a standard
keyboard using Graffiti writing.
All punctuation marks begin with a single tap on the Graffiti
writing area. This tap activates the Punctuation Shift, indicated
by a dot displayed above the writing area. The next stroke you
make with the stylus creates a punctuation mark. When
Punctuation Shift is active, you can write a symbol stroke on
either side of the Graffiti writing area (the letter or number side).
Create punctuation marks using the following strokes:
Additional Graffiti punctuation includes the following:

Writing Accented Characters
To draw accented characters, you first draw the stroke for the
letter, and then draw the accent stroke. Graffiti writing then adds
the accent to the letter.
For example, the following illustration shows the strokes required
to draw an accented “e”.
Using these accent strokes, you can write the following accented
letters:
à á â ã ä å è é ê ì í î ï ò ó ô õ ö ù ú û
ü ÿ ∆ñ
Additional Non-English Characters
You can write the following characters in the lowercase alphabet
mode without special punctuation or shifting.
Note: You must write these non-English characters in the left side of the
Graffiti writing area.

Navigation Strokes
Graffiti writing includes additional strokes for navigating within
text or fields in your applications.
Using Graffiti ShortCuts
Graffiti ShortCuts let you quickly and easily enter commonly used
words or phrases. ShortCuts are similar to the Glossary or
Autotext features of some word processors. Graffiti writing
comes with several predefined ShortCuts. You can also create
your own, for any words, letters, or numbers.
You can create ShortCuts, with up to 45 characters, using the
ShortCut preferences. For example, you could create a ShortCut
for your name or for the header of a memo. See “ShortCuts
Preferences” on page xx to learn about creating your own
shortcuts.
