>I am about to take delivery of my first ever Newton an MP130 and I have
carefully read the FAQs and scoured all the >Newton sites but I cannot find
answers to the following questions (I have a PC with Windows 98 and I use a
Palm >IIIc which i have found to be a fantastically useful tool for
contacts/to do/diary and word document synchronistion >with docs to
go)....the questions are...
>1. Can I transfer diary/contacts by beaming between the IIIc and the 130
and if so do I need software
yes, via Outlook and Lookout
>2. Can I synchronise the 130 with the Palm desktop?
no, synchronise the Palm with Outlook first and then synchronise
the Newton with Lookout.
>3. Can I synchronise the 130 with Outlook?
yes, use Lookout at < www.unna.org/unna/utilites/LookOut/ >
>4. Can I put Word documents on to the Newton in the same way docs to go
does with the Palm
No, but you can format document using Word and the press.dot
template from Newton Press

Newton Press

----------------------------
The way I format my Newton books is I use the word
"press.dot" template that comes with Newton Press. If
I paginate the document according to this template,
then it will ALWAYS work out as a Newton Book. I never
have a problem.
You might want to look into this method.
As some additional info, I open the Word with the
template, I then paste the document I want turned into
a book into this template, I then page through it to
make sure that the page beginnings are correct, then I
save the document as an RTF, then I drag the RTF
document on top of the Newton Press icon and it's
done...
