Apple Newton Connection Utilities (for Macintosh) - Manual (Page 86)

This dialog box appears when you’re exporting to a text file. The options that
appear are specific to the text translator. You use these options to specify how
fields and entries are separated in the text file.
4 Select the desired options.
Typical items you can set in Miscellaneous options include:
m Repeat unknown, ongoing appointments: Some calendar applications allow
you to set ongoing appointments—for example, a meeting that occurs
every third Thursday of the month. Select this option if you want to
transfer all occurrences of your repeating meetings. If you don’t select this
option, and the file you’re exporting to doesn’t support repeating meetings,
only the first occurrence of each repeating meeting will be transferred.
IMPORTANT With some calendar applications that don’t support ongoing
meetings, if you transfer ongoing meetings, the application may treat each
occurrence as a separate meeting. To remove these meetings, you’d have to
delete each instance individually.
m Include completed To Do items: Select this option if you want to include
completed items when you transfer a To Do list.
m Column headings: If you’re exporting information to a text file, select this
option to include field names in the first line of the text file. If you’re
importing information from a text file, select this option if field names are
included in the first line of the text file.
Tip: If your file has column headings and you turn on the Column
headings option, the Newton Connection Utilities can create more accurate
default field maps.
