After you’ve selected all the titles you want to install, click Done. The program will tell you to hotsync your Palm device, which you can do by pushing the button on the Palm device’s cradle. After the hotsync is complete, turn on your Palm device, tap the Reader icon, and make sure all the titles are listed. If they are, you’ve completed the installation successfully.

Copying Selections from Gospelink 2001 to your Palm Device

There are two different ways to copy text from Gospelink 2001 to your Palm device. The first is the same way you copy information to Composer:

1. Select the text you want to copy.
2. Click Copy.
3. Click Copy to Handheld Computer.

The following screen will appear:

The chapter title for the document from which you are copying will appear in the Document Title box. In the File Name box, enter a name for your document. Then click OK.

Once you’ve named your Palm document and saved it, it’s ready to be put on your Palm device. To do so:

1. Open the install tool again.
2. Click the Add button.
3. Click the down arrow next to Look In.
4. Choose your C drive, or the drive where Gospelink 2001 is installed.
5. Double-click the My Gospelink Documents folder. You should now see your document listed.
6. Double-click the document to add it to the list of items to be installed to your Palm device.
7. Click Done and hotsync your Palm device once again.

After the hotsync is complete, turn on your Palm device, open the Reader, and make sure your document is listed. Because of license restrictions, the largest amount of text you can copy to a handheld computer is 64K.
