Looking to Your Palm for Your To Do List

The To Do List on your Palm device can help you keep a handle on all those little errands and projects that take up your time. You can add a task when you think of it rather than wait to get back to your computer. Just push the To Do List hard button (second from the right at the bottom of your Palm device) to call up the To Do List.

Note: If you've replaced the To Do List with some other program, such as To Do Plus, the following instructions may not help you.

Here's how to add an item to the To Do List:

1.With the To Do List open, enter the name of your task with either the onscreen keyboard or Graffiti.

2.Tap any blank area of the screen or press the Scroll Down button at the bottom center of the case.

Ta Da! The highlighting next to your new item disappears and you have a task to do.

Then, knowing what a productive, demanding person you are, the To Do List also enables you to assign priorities, categories, and due dates to each task. To add such details to your tasks, follow these steps:

1.With the To Do List open, tap the name of the task to which you want to add details.

2.Tap Details at the bottom of the display area.

3.To set the priority of your item, tap one of the numerals (1 through 5) next to the word Priority.

4.To assign a category to your task, tap the triangle next to the word Category, and tap the name of the category that you want to display.

The first time you use your Palm To Do list, a list of 4 available categories appears (but you can add some more — up to 15 categories). Note that you can't assign any item to more than one category.

5.To assign a date to your task, tap the triangle next to the words Due Date.

A list of these options appears: Today, Tomorrow, One week later, No Date, and Choose Date. Tapping Choose Date opens the Date screen, which looks like a calendar.

6.Tap the name of the due date that you want for your task or tap the desired date on the Calendar if you want to Choose Date.

7.Tap OK.
