import files from palm desktop to microsoft excel 2002

[lizf]

Hi,
I am trying to export files from palm desktop (datebook, address, and
memos) to microsoft excel 2002 so I may search the files via microsoft excel.
Is this even possible? I seem to be able to export the address files to
microsoft outlook and then to excel, but the datebook and memo do not do
that. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks so much.

Your question really isn't an Office question but one about Palm Desktop.

Having said that, have you tried exporting your files to a .csv and then
either open that file in Excel or import that file into Excel. I got
different results with the two actions.

BTW, I am using Palm Desktop v4.0.1 and Excel 2003 so you may get different
results. If this doesn't help you, you could do a copy and paste or you
could see if there's a Palm newsgroup. (I honestly don't know - never needed
one.)
