I lost my data on my Palm Hand held due to various
problems and am having trouble importing the data from
the files on my computor. I tried (in error) to view the
files with MS Word to see if my data was there. It
appears to be , but now I cannot import the data into my
palm desktop as it has been associated with MS word . I
phoned palm and they said I must "un-associate" the files
and re associate them with Palm so that I can access
them. Any ideas?? I have 4 years of data and addresses I
don't want to loose!!
 
Hello Noel,

To associate a file with a program:
- Open Windows Explorer
- Find a file with the extension in question
- right-click the file
- click | Open With |
- click the program name "Palm Desktop".
If that program is not displayed, click [Browse].

To ensure that Windows always uses the same program
to open any file with that file name extension,
in the "Open With" dialog box,
[Y] "Always use this program to open this kind of file"

- click [OK]
