About documents
You can create documents in your Mailbox, other containers, or on your Desktop. Because documents do not expire by default, and can be updated after they are created, they are useful for posting information on a permanent basis (for example, information about the purpose of a conference).
When you create a document, you can use the standard document form or a special document form that contains preset fields.
As for messages, you can add a background picture and content to a document, view it, make it stationery, or save it to your computer. A document can also be used as a presentation, which allows you to show the document as a series of slides.
Creating standard documents
To create a document using the standard document form:
1 Open the container where you want to store the document.
2 Choose File > New > New Document.
3 Add and format the document content.
4 Attach files just as you would for a message, if necessary.
5 Identify your document.
You can give your document a name and subject, plus additional information to help refine searches. To do this, pull down the split bar and update the fields you want. Restore the split bar to its original location if desired.
Your changes are saved automatically when you close the document.
Creating documents using special forms
To create a document using a special document form:
1 Open the container where you want to store the document.
2 Choose File > New > New Document Special, then the form you want to use to create this document.
3 Update the form.
4 Identify your document.
Open the document's properties, then update "Name" and "Subject".
Your changes are saved automatically when you close the document.
Updating documents
To update a document, open it, make your changes, then close it.
If you are not allowed to make changes, the document may be protected.
Memos
Memos are documents that FirstClass places in a Memos folder on your Desktop. This folder is created the first time you create a memo. The contents of the Memos folder sync to Palm™ Computing connected organizers.
To create a memo:
1 Choose File > New > New Memo.
2 Update the memo just as you would a standard document.
Your changes are saved automatically when you close the memo.
