I don't have a PDA, but if you were to import, I think the PDA's program would manage the data in its own way, not necessarily in the same way that Outlook does. I don't know if PDAs can print out address books, but I can say that I have not found that Entourage to be able to do that. For that, I like to use my ten-year old InTouch With, now updated to OSX. It prints address books in all the major formats. It seems that nothing does it all. Outlook and Entourage are email programs, that can do some other things, sort of. InTouch With is a free form database, very good for addresses, notes, address book printing, envelope printing, cataloging, etc, but does not do email and cannot export to other databases (free form is lacking fields). The big name PIMs like Now Up to Date and others may do it all, but are expensive and complex. Allan Atherton | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be February 25.
