Palm OS Tip of the Day Changing Text In A Repeating Event If you try to change the text in a repeating event (in DateBook), you end up changing it in all the repeats. To get around this, you have to "break" the one event out of the repeat list. Do this by changing anything in the details window. When you click OK, you'll be asked if you want this change to affect All or Current. Selecting Current will create a record that doesn't exist in the "list" of repeats, and you can now change it (or even delete it) without affecting the other repeated events. This tip was submitted by PalmGear H.Q.. - Tip provided by CNET Help.com

Get Back To Today Quickly A quick way to return to Today in the DateBook app is to press the DateBook button. This will return you to the daily view for Today. This tip was submitted by PalmGear H.Q.. - Tip provided by CNET Help.com

Is Desktop Getting The Wrong Date? If the Palm is set to display day/month/year and the desktop computer is set to month/day/year, then the following problem will occur. When you pick a date from the little calendar, such as the 3rd of April, the calendar will show 3/4/2000 in the date field on the entry box. When you hit add, however, it will immediately place the entry in the 4th of March. To correct this problem, make sure your desktop computer and the Palm are set to the same date format.

Frozen Buttons? If you're using a Palm V and suddenly notice your unit isn't reacting to buttons or screen presses, check the contrast button at the top to make sure it's not stuck. This tip was submitted by PalmGear H.Q.. - Tip provided by CNET Help.com

Mask Private Records The Security application in Palm OS 3.5 now lets you "mask" private records in addition to hiding them completely.

Try The Taxi Cab Easter Egg The Taxi Cab appears as a small taxi that goes across your PalmPilot screen under certain conditions. Here's how to get it. -Go to Preferences/General Tab. -Draw a small circle counter-clockwise on the screen right above the calculator silk-screen button. If done properly, you should see an Easter Egg appear. -Now hold down the Page Down button in any application (some users have reported that you might need to exit the Prefs app) and draw a line from the middle of the Graffiti input area to the left edge of the screen right between the applications and menu silk-screen buttons.

Use Duplicate Email Accounts For Your Palm And PC If you use one of the direct-dial-to-Internet email programs, consider establishing a separate email account just for your PalmPilot.

Stop The Auto-Shutdown If you don't want your PalmPilot to shut off automatically to save battery power, use one of the secret Dot Commands: Draw the ShortCut symbol (a lowercase cursive L), a period, and then the number three.

Fast Datebook Entry When entering a timed event, go to the right side of the Palm graffiti area and enter a time and the datebook will open to the "set time" page and highlight the time. Sometimes you may have to enter an "A" or a "P" if the event is AM or PM. If your Palm's internal clock is in the PM and the event is in the PM, you just have to enter the time.

Email Distribution Lists In Address Book, set up a category called Email lists (this step is not actually necessary--just more neat). Create a new entry with the Last Name field called, for example, "Email Friends." Enter (or copy in) your distribution list (a series of email addresses separated by a comma and then a space) in the Email field. Do the same for other distribution lists you want to create (e.g. "Email Office," "Email Clients," and so on) all prefixed with "Email" so they will be grouped together. Then, when you are creating a new message in Mail, just enter "email" (or part thereof) in the "To" field, do a Lookup, and all the distribution lists are there to choose from.
