Importing Palm Desktop info to Entourage

T

Tony G.

Need some advice here. I am running Entourage on a Powerbook G4 15
inch under Panther. Want to sync my Palm Desktop info with Entourage,
but Entourage will not find Palm files when I try to import them. What
do you think?

Entourage imports only from the older Classic Palm Desktop 2.6, not from the
OS X PD 4.x, which was released after Entourage was.

You can import from PD 4 either via a Palm handheld, if you have one : sync
first from PD to Palm (Desktop Overwrites Handheld mode) using the standard
Palm conduit, then switch to Entourage conduit and do a Handheld Overwrites
Entourage, if you don't have other data in Entourage.

Or, if you don't have a Palm, you could get my shareware scripts
Export-Import Entourage X at

MacScripter.net <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/>

Read the "Other Programs" section of the ReadMe. It's a little messy because
PD's Tab & Return file exports of Datebook, Todos, and Memos don't include a
header line, but it is possible to to import into Entourage using the
scripts.
