Using File Link
The File Link feature lets you import Address Book and Memo Pad information into
your Acer s10 from a separate external file such as a company phone list. HotSync
Manager stores the data in a separate category on your Palm Desktop software and
on your Acer s10. You can configure the File Link feature to check for changes to the
external file when you perform a HotSync operation.
With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following file formats:
• Comma delimited (.csv)
• Tab delimited (.tsv)
• Memo Pad archive (.mpa)
• Address Book archive (.aba)
• Text (.txt)
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop software online
Help.
