For example, you can specify whether you want to save text as a memo or as a Doc file. One setting allows you to save any files under 4k as a memo and over 4k as a Doc file. This ensures that if any file exceeds Palm's 4K size limit for memos, it will be converted to a Doc file that can be read with any of the numerous Palm Doc Readers that are currently available.

You can also choose between a number of header and footer options, as shown in Figure C.

There are a number of header and footer options. Click picture for a larger image.

Title headers can either be the first line of text, the date, or the application title if the document or text is grabbed from a specific Windows based application. Alternatively, you can specify a unique title such as "Competitor Info," etc. Footers can be disabled, or they can provide date, application title, or URL for text grabbed from the Web (you must be using Internet Explorer 5.5 or better for this function). You can also set your own hot-key and mouse click options for the program.
