Time Zones and Events
Here are some important points to keep in mind when assigning a time zone to an event:

software, you can add time zones to your events, but the start and end times do not
change in Palm Desktop if you go to a different time zone.
䢇 If you use Microsoft Outlook, you can use the time zone feature, but you must install the
conduit that came with your Centro device (that is, you must install the desktop software
from the Palm Software Installation CD and select to sync with Outlook) on all the
computers you synchronize your device with. Chapura PocketMirror and other earlier
Microsoft Outlook conduits do not support time zones.
䢇 To automatically assign a time zone to your events, open the Options menu, select
Preferences, and check the New events use time zones box. All your new events are
assigned to your local time zone, and you can change this setting for individual events. In
addition, if you sync with Outlook and you select the time zone option on the Calendar
conduit sync screen, then time zones sync for any new events you create in Outlook. Time
zone settings are not added to any events that you created before you set these time zone
settings.
䢇 If you want your events with time zones to stay at the same time in Calendar, regardless of
the time zone you are in, go to Date & Time Preferences, select the Automatically set pick
list, and then select either Nothing or Date & Time. If you select Date, time and time zone
