Transfering data from Palm Desktop to Entourage 2004

[Karen King]

I want to migrate my information from Palm Desktop and begin using
Entourage 2004, ultimately synching with my Palm. I have an iMac and
a Palm Tungsten T3. I've been able to get the contacts from Desktop
to Entourage using Vcards, but can't transfer my calendar, memos, or
tasks. Can anyone help with this?

I haven't done this myself, but I would expect you to be able to do so by
using the Conduit Manager. Turn off synchronization with the date book, to
do list, and other Palm Desktop components and change the Entourage Conduit
so that handheld overwrites desktop.

Has anyone done this? Are there any risks Karen should worry about that I
haven't thought of?

Run the "Handheld Sync Installer" application located within the
"Additional Tools" subfolder of the Microsoft Office 2004 folder.

I did it today and it worked fine.

What the program does is add an Entourage entry to the Conduit manager
which tells the handheld to sync with Entourage and vis-versa.

After it's installed, just do a sync and all your data will be
imported into Entourage.

Regards,
David
