This chapter describes how to import information from a file on your
computer to an application on your Newton device. For information about
importing information into your Newton Works application, see Chapter 8,
“Importing Into Newton Works.”

About importing

You can import information from your computer to your Newton device in the
following ways:
m Direct import: The Newton Connection Utilities come with translators that

convert files created by popular PIM (personal information manager)
applications into information on your Newton device.

For a list of translators included with the Newton Connection Utilities, see
the Readme file installed with the Newton Connection Utilities software.

m Text files: Many applications can create delimited text files for use with

Newton applications. You can import from a text file when no translator
exists for the application you want to use.

IMPORTANT

It’s a good idea to make a backup of information on your Newton

device before you import. For more information on backing up your Newton
device, see Chapter 2, “Backing Up and Restoring Information.”
