I have been looking for a palm pilot that I can transfer the delphi and restaurant lists to from my desktop. My nice husband bought me an organizer for Christmas but my son is not sure it will work for this. It's a Sharp Wizard Organizer Model OZ-590A. Can anyone tell me if this will work? It came with a USB cable but don't know if you can transfer from Word to the palm. Company hasn't responded to my question. If this doesn't work, can someone recommend what I should buy? Thanks in advance.

Hi Robin:

I searched for Sharp Electronics and found the manual for your palm pilot. I think on Page 28 of your manual, you will find the instructions. It mentioned software that came with your pilot. Did you get this?

Here is a link: although you will have to read with your head sideways as the manual comes up that way! (as I massage the kink in my neck! Just kidding!!! ) but you should have your manual that came with it and that will be much more comfortable!!!!

Good Luck!

Page 32 is where the Export/Import instructions start.....

I had a palm Zire and loved it...the color one. Can't remember the # now. I have a Trio now...also good.

Robin,

Did you figure out how to import onto your Palm Pilot?

Thanks, Karen for going to all that trouble for me. I finally got an email from Sharp and they said that it doesn't have the capability to import Word files. Guess I'll take it back. BTW, I like your picture.

Jen,
Thanks for the input. I'll be checking into those!!!!

I got the HP I PAQ wireless pack (it is a PDA and Phone in one!) and it is able to use and transfer word and other documents. I like it. I am going to go get a different one though ( I don't like the phone on it, but I like the HP IPAQ part). I have Gluten Guard on it, and a pharmacy program (I am a pharm tech) and lots of other word documents with different lists (like safe foods at Micky D's for meals on the run). You might want to look into the HP IPAQ at best buy or another store like that. I am getting that one, for about 280.00, instead of the wireless pack one that I have now (that is a cell phone too) for 600.00. I don't like the phone on it, but I am really please with the PDA part. Good Luck!!!

Don't take it back yet! Ask if text files (notepad) will work. The list is in that format, which is highly simplified. A word file won't work on anything except for one of those pocket PCs that have the office suite. I can send you the link to get it in text format if that is compatible (which it probably should be).

Hi Coulter... I haven't taken it back yet so I'll email them again. Thanks and I'll keep you posted on the outcome.

Had to take the Sharp back as company said it could not transfer any text files whatsoever. I now have a Palm Z22. My son got the gluten-free list to transfer on it and I am happy! If anyone has this type of palm and has any helpful hints, please let me know. Thanks to all.

Great!
