About Events

The Calendar helps you organize appointments, meetings, and other types of events. Create personal events for your own information, or schedule a group event for one or more people over the Internet.

You can quickly create a personal event by typing a description of the event in an empty time slot in the Events list (Day view). Add other details (such as a category, place, or message) or set an alarm. You can also create recurring events (such as weekly meetings), multi-day events (such as conferences), spell-check your event message, and save the event as a draft (before inserting it into the Calendar or sending it).

All events appear in the Day, Week, and Month views and the Activity Log. Only multi-day events appear in the Year view (as highlighted dates).

Tip: Click an item on the illustration to find out more about using the Events list to create and edit events.

About the Calendar

The Calendar is a powerful tool for helping you organize your activities. You can use the Calendar to schedule events and assign To Do items for one or more people over the Internet. You can also create personal events and To Do items to keep in the Calendar for your own information.

When you have a regularly repeated event (such as a weekly meeting), you can add it as a recurring event to the Calendar. You can even add special occasions (such as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays) and select a set of holidays from another country to display in the Calendar.

Each Calendar is part of a planner. When you open a planner, the Calendar for that planner is displayed. You can print an open Calendar in Day, Week, Month, Year, or List format.

4	Type a name for the separator line in the field name column.

5	Click and drag the separator line to a new position (if you want).

Tips

The separator is displayed as a horizontal line across the field information column in the Card Detail view. If it is a global field, it appears in all cards in the selected group. If it is a local field, it appears only on the current card.

The separator line can be used to divide fields into smaller groups for easy reference. You may want to type the name in uppercase letters to distinguish it from the rest of the field names.

You cannot change a global field in the Address Book to a separator line, or drag a separator line above the horizontal field divider line to change it from a local to a global field.

About the Card File

The Card File view helps you keep track of personal information, inventories, reference materials, and anything else you want to organize. You can have as many card files as you want, such as a catalog of your CD collection or an inventory of your favorite wines.  You can even organize a card file into groups of cards for easy access to particular types of items (such as Rock n' Roll, Country and Western, and Classical CD's).

Each card in a card file is divided into fields of information. You can create local fields for the current card only, or you can create global fields that appear in each card (or group of cards) in a card file.

Fields in a card file can be assigned links that let you jump from card to card, or between the Card File and Address Book. You can even create links for calling with the Phone Dialer, sending e-mail messages, displaying Web sites, opening documents and folders, and starting applications.

Although you can keep addresses in a card file, the Address Book is specifically designed to help you organize your personal and business contacts.

Card files can be shared over a network.

When you delete a card in a card file, it is marked as deleted in the database (so that it does not display in CorelCENTRAL), but is only removed when you run the clean-up procedure.

DO NOT run the clean-up procedure unless the card file is working properly.

About CorelCENTRAL


About Links

CorelCENTRAL provides a powerful feature that lets you create links from fields in the Card File or Address Book that jump from card to card or address to address, or from a card to an address or an address to a card.

Once you add several of these types of links, it becomes easy to navigate through CorelCENTRAL by clicking the links, or by clicking the Back and Forward buttons on the toolbar to move through links you have already clicked.

Tip: Click an item on the illustration to find out more about using links and fields.

Besides adding links that jump between cards and addresses, you can add links to fields that launch the Phone Dialer (for making voice calls), take you to Web sites, let you access documents or applications (including sound files and movies), open file folders, and help you send e-mail messages.

You can add a link to any field in the Card File or to a local or custom global field in the Address Book by clicking a field in the Card Detail view, right-clicking, clicking Link to, then clicking a link type.

CorelCENTRAL adds comment fields for Phone Dialer, Web Site, File/Application, Folder, and E-mail links that you can use to edit the link information. You can even add your own comment fields in the Address Book or Card File to include other important notes.

About Adding Links

CorelCENTRAL lets you add links to fields in the Address Book and Card File that jump to or launch:

Cards in the Address Book and Card File

Phone Dialer

Web sites (URL's)

Files such as documents, movies, and sounds

Applications

Folders

An E-mail Message dialog box

You can link between cards inside the Address Book or Card File, or from the Address Book to the Card File (and the opposite direction). When you add a link to a card, a back link is created automatically that lets you jump from the destination card back to the original card.

Phone Dialer links dial phone numbers for you. Links to Web sites automatically launch Netscape Navigator. Links to files and applications give you a variety of options such as retrieving your current projects, playing movies and sound files, and organizing and starting your favorite edutainment software. Links to folders display the folder in a window, and links to e-mail messages display the Message dialog box with the e-mail address inserted for you.

CorelCENTRAL automatically adds Phone Dialer, E-mail, and Web Site links to global fields in the Address Book that are defined as phone number, e-mail, or Web site fields. This feature does not apply to custom global fields. In addition, you can only add links to local and custom global fields in the Address Book.

If you do not enter a folder name with the filename, CorelCENTRAL automatically saves the card file in the default CARDFILE folder (such as C:\MYFILES\USERS\DSMITH\PLANNER\CARDFILE).

About Fields

Information for each card in an address book or card file is organized into fields. Each field has a name and holds information (sometimes called "data"). The fields for a selected card are displayed to the right of the card list in the Card Detail view. You can also double-click a card in the card list to display it in a separate window.

Tip: Click an item on the illustration to find out more about fields.

Fields in an address book or card file can be global or local. A global field in a card file appears in every card in a group of cards; a global field in an address book appears in every address book you insert into CorelCENTRAL. Local fields appear only on individual cards. Global and local fields are separated by a horizontal line in the field names column. Field names that appear above the line are are global; field names that appear below the line are local.

When you create an address book or card file, a set of global fields is also created. These fields might include Name, Address, and Phone Number for a person in an address book; or Title, Artist, and Media Type for a card in a card file. As you add new cards, all global fields are inserted for you.

Global fields in the Address Book can be either the ones that CorelCENTRAL provides, or custom global fields (the ones that you create). You cannot change the field properties of global or custom global fields in the Address Book. However, you can add your own links to custom global fields.

1	Click [image] or [image] to search for a card or to filter cards as you search in the card list.

2	Click in an empty Search box below a Field Name button.

3	Type until the card is highlighted or displayed.

Tips

Click [image] if you want to display all the cards in the list as you type. The [image] is displayed on the button. The card that matches the characters is highlighted.

Click [image] if you want to display only those cards that match your typed characters. All the rest are hidden from view. The [image] is displayed on the button.

To display the full list again after doing a filtered search, delete the characters in the Search text box, or click View [image] Clear Search/Filter.

You can type text in more than one Search text box to find a card. For example, if you know that a person has the first name of Shauna and lives in Long Beach, you can type "shauna" for the Name field and "long beach" for the City field to find the card.

When you are in Filter mode [image] you can use "+" and "&" as "or" and "and" search operators in the Card File (not the Address Book). For example, if you want to list all people with the first name of "Elizabeth" or "Darren" in the First Name field, type "elizabeth + darren" in the Search text box. If you want to list all cards in a card file with "Country" and "Rock" in the Music Genre field, type "country & rock."

To use search operators
To use search operators,

Search operators are symbols that you can type to combine search values. You can use search operators to look for information anywhere in CorelCENTRAL where you type text (except in the Address Book).

The <, >, and * search operators can be combined with the +, &, and - search operators. For example, to select artists in your Music card file whose names fall between "Lee" and "Poitier," type "<po& >le" in the Search box for the Artist field.

The following are examples of how to use the search operators in the card list.

+ (or)

To find which of your contacts in the Address Book live on Louise Avenue, or on Palm Avenue, type "louise avenue + palm avenue" for your search string.

& (and)

To find a CD in your Music card file for the singing duo Marilyn Hale and Lyman Wilson, type "Marilyn & Lyman" for your search string. You could also type just a few characters of each name, such as "ma & ly" and probably find the CD.

- (exclude)

To find contacts in your Address Book that do not have the last name of Smith, type "-Smith" for your search string.

< (smaller than)

To select all artists in your Music card file whose names come before "Tr" (alphabetically), type "<tr" for your search string.

> (greater than or equal to)

To select all artists in your Music card file whose names start with or come after "Tr" (alphabetically), type ">tr" for your search string.

* (contains)

To select the contacts in your Address Book whose address contains "Place," type "*place" for your search string.

** (contained anywhere within the address book or card file)

To select all cards in an address book that have the word "new" in any field, type "**new" for your search string. Using ** in any Search box searches throughout the entire address book or card file.

"" (match anywhere in a field)

When you type text in a Search box, CorelCENTRAL begins matching the text against field information that starts with the characters you type. If you want to match the characters you type against the same characters anywhere in the field information, use quotation marks. For example, if you type Cookie, CorelCENTRAL matches the word to the first characters in each field. However, if you put quotation marks around the word ("Cookie"), CorelCENTRAL will match the word to characters anywhere within the field.

# (empty)

If you want to select contacts who do not have a phone number in the Telephone field of your card list, type # in the Search box.

About Planners


About Planners

When you first start CorelCENTRAL, a calendar, address book, and a set of card files are opened and ready to use. The filenames for all these open files are stored as a planner. You can use the same planner for organizing all your activities, or create customized planners.

You can open planners (one at a time), and more than one person can open a planner at a time (which makes sharing planners easy). Any changes you make to the open planner (such as adding and removing card files) are automatically saved to the planner. All planners share the same address book included in Corel WordPerfect Suite 8.

The planner you have open when you exit CorelCeNTRAL is displayed the next time you start CorelCENTRAL.

About CorelCENTRAL File Maintenance

When a calendar, address book, or card file begins to display information incorrectly for a date, card list, or card detail view, the database files may be corrupted. You can often fix many of these problems by using the Maintenance features in CorelCENTRAL to rebuild the indexes that coordinate how information is sorted, linked, and displayed. If rebuilding the indexes doesn't work, you may also need to validate the file structure (which can take much longer).

If a calendar, address book, or card file is displaying properly, but you want to reduce the size of the file, you can use the Cleanup and rebuild indexes option. This option removes any information in the file that has not been deleted by CorelCENTRAL, then recreates the index so that the deleted information is no longer referenced in the index.

You should only cleanup a file if it is working properly.

CorelCENTRAL "crashes" when I start the program

When you start CorelCENTRAL, the program looks for the Calendar in the current planner. If the Calendar file is corrupted, then CorelCENTRAL cannot start.

A solution is to start CorelCENTRAL with a "/f" or "/a" startup option (to start CorelCENTRAL with the Card File or Address Book displayed), switch to the Calendar view, then run Calendar Maintenance (File [image] Calendar Maintenance) to try and uncorrupt the Calendar file.

You can start CorelCENTRAL with the /f or /a startup option by clicking Start [image] Programs [image] Windows Explorer on the Windows taskbar, then clicking folders until you open the COREL\SUITE8 folder. Drag and drop the CorelCENTRAL shortcut on to your desktop, right-click the shortcut, then click Properties. Click the Shortcut tab, then click in the Target text box. Add a space to the end of CCWin8.exe, type /f or /a, then click OK. Double-click the shortcut to start CorelCENTRAL.

About Cut, Copy, and Paste

When you cut selected text, you move it from one location to another. When you copy text, you keep the selected text in place and insert a copy of it in the new location.

The cut or copied text is stored in the Windows Clipboard, and can be pasted in CorelCENTRAL or any other application that can access the Clipboard. The cut or copied text is available in the Clipboard only until you cut or copy something else or until you exit Windows.

You can cut, copy, and paste text almost anywhere you can type it in CorelCENTRAL. This usually means in a field, the events list, the To Do List, or in a dialog text box where you enter text. If the box is a drop-down list, or a box that includes up-arrow and down-arrow buttons, you will not be able to cut, copy, or paste text.

You can also use Cut, Copy, and Paste to quickly change personal events to To Do times (and the opposite).

The Address Book in CorelCENTRAL uses the PDOXUSRS.NET file to help store information. When you install Corel WordPerfect Suite 8, the file is placed in the Corel\Suite8\Shared\Address folder. If the folder or the file become marked as "read-only," then CorelCENTRAL will not be able to start.

If you are running CorelCENTRAL from a network, check with your network system administrator to solve the problem.

If you are running CorelCENTRAL from your hard drive, then you'll need to start Windows Explorer (Start [image] Programs [image] Windows Explorer), select the Address folder, then right-click to display the QuickMenu. Click Properties, then click the General tab. Check to see if the Read-only attribute is selected (checkmarked). If so, click to deselect it, then click OK.

About Using an Address Book on a Network

The CorelCENTRAL Address Book database can be placed on a network for your personal use, or it can be shared with other users. When the Address Book is made shareable, it is important that the system administrator give full rights to all individuals using the database file. If the database file is marked as "read-only," then users will receive an error message when accessing the Address Book, and will not be able to view or edit addresses.

To use the Address Book on a network, you must place the database folder on the network.  The database is typically installed to c:\corel\suite8\share\address\database. To access a network Address Book, users must then specify the network location from each personal work station.

Be aware that if you are using the Address Book on a network and you are using the Microsoft driver for NetWare, there is a bug that causes a disk-caching problem, and incomplete information can be written to the database. To avoid the problem, you should disable the write-behind cache option in Windows 95.

About Importing and Exporting Files

You can import information from other applications into the Address Book and Card File as a group of cards. Importing information is especially useful if you have contact or database information stored in other PIM's (Personal Information Managers) and want to use CorelCENTRAL to manage it.

The information you can import into an address book or card file needs to be in ASCII, InfoCentral 7, Netscape 3.0 Address Book, Sidekick, WP Merge/Notebook, vCard (Address Book only), or ABX (Address Book only) format.

You can also export a group of cards from the Address Book or Card File. The information you can export from CorelCENTRAL can be in ASCII, WP Merge, vCard (Address Book only), or ABX (Address Book only) format.

You can also launch the Corel Address Book (Start [image] Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 [image] Accessories [image] Corel Address Book 8, then click Book [image] Import to import additional formats into the Address Book that include ABX, ODBC, ANSI delimited text, dBase, Clipper, FoxPro, and Paradox.

To import files,

1	Display the Address Book or Card File view, then click a tab to select an address book or card file where you want to import the information.

2	Click File [image] Import, click an import type, then click OK.

3	Click the file you want to import in the Import dialog box, then click Open.

4	If you are importing an ASCII file, select a field delimiter, record delimiter, and encapsulation character. Click File Header if there is a record at the beginning of the file with a heading for each field.

5	Select any groups you want imported from the Import Groups dialog box, then click Current Address Book/Card File or New Address Book/Card File.

6	If you click New Address Book/Card File, enter a filename for the new address book or card file.

7	Click OK to begin importing.

Tips

If you select Current Address Book/Card File, the imported information is inserted as a group into the currently selected address book or card file.

If you select New Address Book/Card File, a new address book or card file is created and added to your planner. The name you enter is used as the filename and as the text that appears on the tab in the Address Book or Card File.

All records imported into a CorelCENTRAL address book are imported as person cards.

Check the Preview window in the ASCII Setup Delimiter dialog box to see which delimiters are being used in the file you want to import. A large space indicates a tab, a comma is displayed as a comma, a new line is an LF (Line Feed), and a | character is a CR (Carriage Return).

If you are importing an ASCII file, it is important to select the correct delimiters to have a successful import. When you exported your ASCII file, you should have set the delimiters to one or more of the following: CR - Carriage Return, LF - Line Feed, CRLF - Carriage Return and Line Feed, Tab, or Comma. You can also use encapsulation characters such as single or double quotes. These are the same delimiters you need to set when importing. If you did not export your ASCII file using one or more of these delimiters, then export it again before importing it into CorelCENTRAL.

Encapsulation characters are sometimes used in ASCII files to surround text. If there is an encapsulation character in thefile you want to import, select it from the Encapsulation Character drop-down list. The character is then "stripped" from the text when it is imported. CorelCENTRAL supports the following encapsulation characters: <> - angle brackets, {} - curly-brackets, [] - square brackets, "" - double quotes, '' - single quotes, and () - parentheses.

You can also launch the Corel Address Book (Start [image] Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 [image] Accessories [image] Corel Address Book 8, then click Book [image] Import to import additional formats into the Address Book that include ABE, ODBC, ANSI delimited text, dBase, Clipper, FoxPro, and Paradox.

If you need to include an encapsulation character, select it from the Encapsulation Character drop-down list. A set of the characters is added to each field when the file is exported. CorelCENTRAL supports the following encapsulation characters: <> - angle brackets, {} - curly-brackets, [] - square brackets, "" - double quotes, '' - single quotes, and () - parentheses.

About Dates and the Year 2000

There are two versions of CorelCENTRAL, and dates are handled differently with each version:

CorelCENTRAL Lite: The Address Book, Card File, and the Calendar/Address Book without any Netscape Communicator integration.

CorelCENTRAL with Netscape Communicator Integration: The Mailbox, Help Desk, Calendar/Address Book integrated with Netscape Communicator (you can see this in the Personal and Group Event and the To Do dialogs), and the rest of the Netscape Communicator applications (Conference, Page Composer, etc.).

Storing Dates in CorelCENTRAL's Data Store

CorelCENTRAL stores the date AND time in the same field of the underlaying data store. The format of the date stored in the database--regardless of how it was entered or the system's Regional Settings--is as follows:

yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss

Therefore, the date September 22nd, 1998 at 4:00pm GMT (the time is stored in Greenwich Mean Time and is converted to the current Time Zone selection before being displayed) is stored as follows: 1998/09/22 16:00:00. This occurs whenever CorelCENTRAL Lite is active or when events OR To Do items are scheduled using Netscape Communicator integration.

When exporting information from CorelCENTRAL that includes dates and/or times, the date string will be exported using the Stored Date format, i.e. "yyyy/mm/dd" or "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss."

Dates Displayed in CorelCENTRAL

Date formatting and display options in CorelCENTRAL are determined by the Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel.  To change your system's default, click Start [image] Control Panel, double-click Regional Settings, click the Date tab, then change the displayed formats. We recommend setting the default display to a date style that includes 4 digits (yyyy) for the year. Since both Long Date Strings and Short Date Strings are used in CorelCENTRAL, you may want to consider setting both the Long Date Style and the Short Date Style to 4 digits when making a change. When you finish, exit Regional Settings, then exit and restart CorelCENTRAL.

CorelCENTRAL Lite does not use the Regional Setting for the number of digits when displaying the year. No matter what the user enters or what the Regional Setting is, CorelCENTRAL displays all years using the 4-digit format. CorelCENTRAL with Netscape Communicator integration will use the 2-digit yeardisplay if that is what is set in Regional Settings.

Preparing for the transition to the Year 2000

We recommend that you enter and display all dates in CorelCENTRAL using the 4-digit year format or "explicit century" format for the year (i.e., mm/dd/yyyy in the U.S.).

If you choose to enter dates in a 2-digit, or "implicit century" year format (i.e., mm/dd/yy), please be aware of the following:

A) When you enter dates, you can use the 2-digit year as a shortcut (such as 4/26/99), but CorelCENTRAL will automatically roll the date forward or back using the following ranges:

1) In CorelCENTRAL Lite, if you enter 00-50 for the year, CorelCENTRAL will assume you are entering dates for 2000 through 2050. If you enter 51-99 for the year, CorelCENTRAL will assume 1951-1999. You can permanently override the century designation by entering all 4 digits for the year. Since CorelCENTRAL always converts dates to 4-digit years and then displays them as such, incrementing or decrementing the year is as simple as changing the last one or two digits of the year string. If you delete all four digits and re-enter the year as a 2-digit string, CorelCENTRAL will again use the 00-50/51-99 ranges to convert the year to a 4-digit string. If you want to enter a date that falls outside the 2-digit conversion range (i.e., 9/22/1929), you must enter all 4 digits for the year.

2) With Netscape Communicator integration, if you enter 00-29, Netscape Communicator will assume you are entering dates for 2000 through 2029. If you enter 30-99, Netscape Communicator will assume you are entering dates for 1930 through 1999. Again, you can override this century designation by entering all 4 digits. Deleting the 4-digit year and re-entering a 2-digit year will cause the Netscape Communicator to go back to the 00-29/30-99 conversion ranges.

Tips

Dates and times are tightly integrated in CorelCENTRAL, and this is especially true in the Calendar view. When you schedule an event or To Do item that will occur in a different date and/or time zone from the one you are currently using, be sure you switch to that different date/time zone before scheduling the event or To Do item. From the Calendar menu, click Select Time Zone and make the change, then schedule the event or To Do item. Once you have completed the scheduling, remember to return your date/time zone to the one you are currently using.

What is New?

The November 1997 interim release of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 includes the following new CorelCENTRAL 8 features. The same new features are also available by downloading the CorelCENTRAL 8 patch from the Corel Web site (www.corel.com).

PalmPilot Synchronization

You can now synchronize information in your PalmPilot (or Pilot) with information in the CorelCENTRAL Address Book and Calendar applications using the PalmPilot HotSync feature.

For the synchronization to work, you need to make sure that the HotSync conduits for CorelCENTRAL are installed. CorelCENTRAL includes PalmPilot conduits for the Address Book, Events List, and To Do List.

You cannot currently synchronize the Expense, Memo Pad, and Mail applications with CorelCENTRAL because there are no Corel conduits available. However, if you are already using conduits with another software program to HotSync with these PalmPilot applications, the conduits will continue to work.

Find Feature

You can now search for any event, To Do item, note in the Calendar, contact in the Address Book, or card in the Card File by using the Find feature. The search matches the text you type to any text in the Calendar, Address Book, or Card File, then returns a list of cards, contacts, events, notes, and To Do items that contain the text.

NetCaster and Netscape Communicator 4.03

Version 4.03 of Netscape Communicator includes the new NetCaster "push" technology for dynamically delivering information (via Channels) to your computer from an intranet or the Internet while you work. You can then read the information offline at your convenience.

About Address Book Security

Whenever you create an address book, you are the owner of that address book. You can add security features to the address books, or individual cards in the address books, by using the Hidden and Read-only security options.

When you mark an address book or card as read-only, others who insert the address book into a planner cannot edit that address book or card. A [image] icon is displayed next to each field to indicate that fields are read-only.

When you mark an address book as hidden, others are not able to insert the address book because the filename is not displayed. When you mark a card as hidden, the card is not displayed in the address book.

These security options are for others only. This includes people using other copies of CorelCENTRAL, or people who are using other profiles in your copy of CorelCENTRAL. You can still edit and display any address books or cards you mark with security options.

Netscape Communicator and CorelCENTRAL

When you install CorelCENTRAL, a special version of Netscape Communicator designed for CorelCENTRAL is also installed, which it similar to the standard version of Netscape Communicator. However, it has been modified to provide CorelCENTRAL with features such as scheduling events and assigning To Do items over the Internet. If you already have Netscape Communicator installed, you still need the CorelCENTRAL version to take advantage of all the CorelCENTRAL features.

Because the settings for the CorelCENTRAL version are stored and maintained separately from the standard Netscape Communicator, installing the CorelCENTRAL version does not overwrite the standard Netscape Communicator settings. If, after using CorelCENTRAL for a period of time, you find that you no longer use the standard Netscape Communicator, you may want to remove it from your hard drive to free up disk space.

When you first start CorelCENTRAL, a Netscape Navigator dialog box appears if you have a browser other than Netscape Navigator set as your default Internet browser. Clicking Yes will make Netscape Navigator your default browser for your entire Windows system. Clicking No will keep your current browser as the default. Clicking Yes or No does not affect launching a browser from within CorelCENTRAL. Netscape Navigator will always be displayed.

CorelCENTRAL cannot file or does not display my user information

When you first install CorelCENTRAL, a planner is created for you that includes a calendar and three basic card files (Reference, Memo, and Personal). CorelCENTRAL uses template files from the \Corel\Suite8\Programs\CCWin\Template\Planner folder to build your first planner, and any other planners you create while using the program.

Your planner files are normally stored with your profile in a \MyFiles\Users\username\Planner folder and subfolders. When you start CorelCENTRAL, it looks for the last planner opened in the Planner folder. If you have moved, renamed, or deleted the Planner folder, then CorelCENTRAL creates a new Planner from the template files. If you have also moved, renamed, or deleted the template files, then CorelCENTRAL cannot start, and displays an error message.

If CorelCENTRAL starts, and creates a new planner, your Calendar information and card files will not be displayed. If you moved or renamed your Planner folder (but did not delete it), you can display the information in CorelCENTRAL again by clicking File [image] Open Planner, then using the Open dialog box to find and open your planner.

If CorelCENTRAL does not start, reinstall CorelCENTRAL, then use File [image] Open Planner to find and open your planner.

About Profiles

Whenever you first start CorelCENTRAL, you are asked for information such as your full name, e-mail address, mail server, and news (NTTP) server. This information is used to create a profile for you in a folder such as D:\MYFILES\USERS\DSMITH. Bookmarks, stored messages, and preferences are also stored as part of your profile.

If you are sharing CorelCENTRAL with other people, you can create a profile for each person. Creating individual profiles lets each person run a customized version of CorelCENTRAL with settings and information stored in a separate folder. Planners, card files, and calendars used by the person are also stored with the profile in a PLANNER folder (such as D:\MYFILES\USERS\DSMITH\PLANNER). The Address Book is part of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8, and is shared by all planners.

When more than one profile is available, a Profile Manager dialog box is displayed each time you start CorelCENTRAL to let you select the profile you want to use. You can also delete and create profiles from the Profile Manager.

To edit profile information, you need to use the Preferences dialog box provided by Netscape (click Tools [image] Settings [image] E-mail/Internet in CorelCENTRAL).

About PalmPilot and CorelCENTRAL

You can synchronize information in your PalmPilot (or Pilot) with information in CorelCENTRAL by using the PalmPilot HotSync feature. Information can be synchronized between the following applications:

PalmPilot	CorelCENTRAL
Address Book	Address Book
Date Book	Events List (Calendar)
To Do List	To Do List (Calendar)
You should HotSync when CorelCENTRAL is not running, then start CorelCENTRAL after synchronizaton to see the updated information. However, the HotSync Manager must always be running to synchronize CorelCENTRAL with your PalmPilot.

Information can be synchronized locally or over a modem between PalmPilot and CorelCENTRAL. PalmPilot Address Book categories are listed in a special Category field in CorelCENTRAL during synchronization.

Planners and Synchronization

If you have installed but never run CorelCENTRAL, you need to run CorelCENTRAL at least once before you can synchronize with your PalmPilot. Running CorelCENTRAL for the first time creates a planner needed by the CorelCENTRAL Address Book, Date Book, and To Do List conduits to share information.

Version 1.0 to 1.1

During installation, any HotSync 1.0 software you have installed on your computer is replaced with version 1.1, which includes major changes that enhance the performance of HotSync.

Version 1.1 and Windows NT

You should be aware that HotSync 1.1 software is not certified for Windows NT. This can cause problems when trying to synchronize CorelCENTRAL and your PalmPilot.

CorelCENTRAL Conduits for PalmPilot

CorelCENTRAL includes conduits for the Address Book, Events List, and To Do List. You cannot currently synchronize the Expense, Memo Pad, and Mail applications with CorelCENTRAL because there are no CorelCENTRAL conduits available. However, if you are already using conduits with another software program to HotSync with these PalmPilot applications, the conduits will continue to work.

For example, if you have been using PalmPilot Desktop tosynchronize information with your PalmPilot, then memos and expenses from your PalmPilot will still be synchronized with PalmPilot Desktop after you install the CorelCENTRAL conduits. However, the information from Address Book, Date Book, and To Do List will be synchronized with CorelCENTRAL instead of PalmPilot Desktop.

If you want to use another set of conduits for synchronizing information between your PalmPilot and your computer, you need to uninstall the Address Book, Date Book, and To Do List conduits for CorelCENTRAL.

CorelCENTRAL and the HotSync Manager

CorelCENTRAL uses the HotSync Manager that installs with PalmPilot Desktop to oversee the synchronization. PalmPilot Desktop version 1.x includes options for the HotSync Manager as a pull-down menu in the program. PalmPilot Desktop 2.0 displays HotSync Manager on the Windows 95/NT taskbar when the program is running.

Before you can synchronize CorelCENTRAL and PalmPilot, you need to start the HotSync Manager utility. The conduits you install for CorelCENTRAL can be used for both versions of the HotSync Manager.

The HotSync Manager lets you change settings (such as the serial port and synchronization speed), customize conduits, and view a log of synchronizations. For details on using the HotSync Manager, refer to the chapter on HotSync in your PalmPilot (or Pilot) handbook.

CorelCENTRAL and Archive

Archive is a PalmPilot feature that lets you move Date Book events, Address entries, To Do items, and Memos to archive files when deleting information. Archive is not available with CorelCENTRAL.

This means that any items you mark to be archived when you delete them on the PalmPilot are lost instead of stored in archive files on the desktop when you synchronize with CorelCENTRAL. Once lost, these items cannot be restored to your PalmPilot or CorelCENTRAL.

CorelCENTRAL and Private

Private is a PalmPilot security feature that lets you hide or view selected records. Although you can mark records as Private and assign a password on your PalmPilot, there is no corresponding feature in CorelCENTRAL.

This means that when you synchronize PalmPilot with CorelCENTRAL, any items marked as Private (or even hidden with a password) in PalmPilot will always be displayed in CorelCENTRAL.

If you edit an event or To Do item in CorelCENTRAL that has been marked Private on your PalmPilot, then HotSync, the event or To Do item will no longer be marked Private on PalmPilot. For that reason, we recommend that you edit records marked Private on the PalmPilot (instead of in CorelCENTRAL) if you want them to keep the Private status.

PalmPilot and Regional Settings

From the Control Panel in Windows 95 or NT, you can change regional (international) settings for CorelCENTRAL. You can also change regional settings on your PalmPilot from the Preferences Format screen. Regional settings include the way dates, times, currency, and numbers are displayed and sorted. For example, a time of 4:00pm for English (United States) is displayed as 16:00 for German (Luxembourg).

If you have selected different regional settings for your computer and PalmPilot, the times and dates will still display accurately on both after synchronization. For example, if you show a time of 13:00 for an event in CorelCENTRAL (for the German regional setting), the time will be displayed as 1:00p in PalmPilot's Date Book (for the United States format).

About PalmPilot Synchronization

The following information helps you understand some general instructions and information about synchronizing CorelCENTRAL with PalmPilot. For additional details, check your PalmPilot handbook.

Synchronization and Multiple Profiles

When you first run CorelCENTRAL, you are guided through creating a profile. The profile includes the name of a CorelCENTRAL planner. An essential part of the planner is your Calendar.

If you have only one profile created for CorelCENTRAL, then the Calendar for that profile is always synchronized with your PalmPilot's Date Book and To Do List.

If you have more than one profile created for CorelCENTRAL, then a Profile dialog box is displayed during synchronization that lets you select which profile you would like to use for the HotSync. If you want to use the same profile each time, and do not want the Profile dialog box to be displayed, select the profile you want to use from the list, then click the check box at the bottom of the list before continuing.

Clicking the check box also significantly increases the speed of synchronization, and is recommended if you normally synchronize with the same profile each time.

Synchronizing for the First Time

The first time you HotSync with CorelCENTRAL, you need to HotSync locally with your desktop computer, rather than using a modem.

During the synchronization, the Calendar for the currently selected profile is synchronized with your PalmPilot's Date Book and To Do List. The My Addresses address book in CorelCENTRAL is synchronized with your PalmPilot's Address Book.

For this reason, it is a good idea to open CorelCENTRAL before you synchronize the first time, check the Calendar to make sure it is the one you want to use for synchronizing, then check the My Addresses address book to make sure you want to load all the records in the card list into your PalmPilot. If there are some you do not want in your PalmPilot, you can move them to another address book before synchronizing.

Make sure you close CorelCENTRAL during the first HotSync. After that, you can HotSync with CorelCENTRAL open. However, you will need to close CorelCENTRAL and start it again to see the updated information.

Viewing the HotSync Log

When the synchronization is complete, PalmPilot displays a final HotSync message dialog box if there is additional information about the synchronization (such as an error message).  This information is stored in a HotSync Log.

You can click View Log on the dialog box to display the HotSyncLog, or you can view the HotSync Log anytime from your desktop computer by clicking View Log on the HotSync Manager menu (for version 2.0, click the HotSync Manager icon in the taskbar system tray).  You can also choose View Log in the PalmPilot Desktop HotSync menu if HotSync Manager is running.

The HotSync log contains information about successful synchronizations and any error conditions for the last 10 HotSync procedures.  For example, if you delete a record on your PalmPilot, edit the same record in CorelCENTRAL, then synchronize, a message is sent to the HotSync Log indicating that the modified version will appear on both platforms.

An equivalent, but shorter, log is kept on the PalmPilot.  Each user account has an independent log, and the HotSync Log dialog box has a drop-down list so you can select which log to view.

To synchronize locally with PalmPilot
To synchronize locally with PalmPilot,

1	Fit the PalmPilot into the cradle.

2	If the HotSync Manager is not running, launch it. If CorelCENTRAL is running, close it (for the first HotSync).

3	If you are using PalmPilot Desktop version 1.x, make sure Local is selected (checked) on the HotSync menu.

4	If you are using PalmPilot Desktop versions 2.0, right-click the HotSync icon [image] on the taskbar system tray, then make sure that Local is selected (checked) on the menu.

5	Press the HotSync button [image] on the front of the PalmPilot cradle to begin synchronization.

The HotSync Progress window appears on your computer screen and on the PalmPilot. The HotSync process saves all your data, then transfers the information (via the conduits) to CorelCENTRAL from the PalmPilot's Date Book, Address Book, and To Do List.

When the synchronization is complete, PalmPilot displays a final HotSync message.

Tips

During the first HotSync with CorelCENTRAL, accounts need to be established directly with your desktop computer. For that reason, you need to HotSync locally the first time, rather than using a modem.

You can HotSync with CorelCENTRAL open. However, the synchronized information will not update until you exit CorelCENTRAL, then start it again.

When you exit CorelCENTRAL, it usually takes a few moments to update files before the program completely shuts down. Do not attempt to HotSync until CorelCENTRAL finishes, or the synchronization will not work.

If you click the Cancel button during a HotSync, the current synchronization is finished before the HotSync Manager stops the process. The HotSync Manager then displays a "cleaning up" message before ending the synchronization. If there is a lot of information in the current synchronization,t hen it may take a while before synchronization stops.

If you see a message in the HotSync Log about a record being deleted, the HotSync Manager is simply informing you it discovered you had deleted a record.

Any other installed conduits (besides Date Book, Address Book, and To Do List) are also updated to the appropriate application(s) (such as PalmPilot Desktop).

For details on synchronizing PalmPilot with CorelCENTRAL locally with your desktop, refer to the chapter on HotSync in your PalmPilot (or Pilot) handbook.

About PalmPilot Synchronization


To synchronize over a modem with PalmPilot
To synchronize over a modem with PalmPilot,

1	Make sure that your modem is connected and turned on in PalmPilot Desktop, and that no communications application is running on a COM port.

2	If the HotSync Manager is not running, launch it.

3	If you are using PalmPilot Desktop version 1.x, click Modem on the HotSync menu to make sure the option is selected.

4	If you are using PalmPilot Desktop version 2.0, right-click the HotSync icon [image] on the taskbar system tray, then click Modem.

5	Connect the special modem cable from the PalmPilot's serial connector to the modem. The other end goes into your modem. Do not attempt to use other kinds of cables for synchronizing, even if they appear to be similar.

6	Fit the PalmPilot into the cradle, then turn on the PalmPilot.

7	Tap Applications on the PalmPilot screen, then tap the HotSync Application.

8	Tap the Modem Sync button. The HotSync screen changes to show that it's dialing the modem.

HotSync begins. The HotSync process dials the PalmPilot Desktop modem, and performs a synchronization of all five applications (Date Book, Address Book, and To Do List for CorelCENTRAL). For PalmPilot DeskTop 2.0, applications selected under Conduit Setup will be synchronized.

When finished, the PalmPilot displays a final HotSync message.

Tips

Make sure the desktop PC is disconnected from all online services, such as America Online (AOL), CompuServe, or the like. This helps to avoid conflicts with the COMM port.

When you exit CorelCENTRAL, it usually takes a few moments to update files before the program completely shuts down. Do not attempt to HotSync until CorelCENTRAL finishes, or the synchronization will not work.

About PalmPilot and CorelCENTRAL


About PalmPilot and the Address Book

Although you can have several address books in CorelCENTRAL, only the CorelCENTRAL My Addresses address book is synchronized with your PalmPilot Address Book.

The CorelCENTRAL Address Book supports three types of records–Person, Organization, and Resource. When you synchronize PalmPilot with CorelCENTRAL, only the Person records are exchanged and updated. Organization and Resource records remain in CorelCENTRAL because there are only Person-type records in PalmPilot.

However, any information in the Organization field of a CorelCENTRAL Address Book Person record will be synchronized with the PalmPilot Company field.

Synchronized Address Book Fields

During synchronization, information is exchanged and updated between the following address book fields in PalmPilot and CorelCENTRAL.

PalmPilot	CorelCENTRAL
Last Name	Last Name
First Name	First Name
Title	Job Title
Company	Organization
Home	Home Phone
Work	Work Phone
Fax	Fax
Mobile	Cellular Phone
Pager	Pager Number
Main	not supported
Other	not supported
E-mail	E-mail 1
Address	Address
City	City
State	State/Province
Zip Code	Postal Code
Country	Country
Custom 1	not supported
Custom 2	not supported
Custom 3	not supported
Custom 4	not supported
Note	Comments
Category (assigned)	Category (field)
If there is no equivalent field in PalmPilot for a CorelCENTRALfield (such as Middle Name), the information does not appear in PalmPilot.

Companies and Organizations

A company in the PalmPilot Address Book is inserted into the Organization field in the CorelCENTRAL Address Book; in addition, a new organization record for the company is also added to the My Addresses address book.

Custom Fields

There are four custom fields for each record in your PalmPilot Address Book. The information in these fields is not synchronized with CorelCENTRAL.

Phone Number/E-mail Fields

The PalmPilot Address Book includes five fields in each record for storing different types of phone numbers and an e-mail address. Each field can be assigned one of eight types: Home, Work, Fax, Mobile, Pager, E-mail, Main, and Other.

The Main and Other types are not supported by CorelCENTRAL, but the rest are synchronized as indicated in the following table:

PalmPilot	CorelCENTRAL
Home	Home Phone
Work	Work Phone
Fax	Fax
Mobile	Cellular Phone
Pager	Pager Number
E-mail	E-mail 1
Main	not supported
Other	not supported

Because PalmPilot has only five of these fields available at a time, while the CorelCENTRAL Address Book always has six (as listed above), the Pager Number in CorelCENTRAL will not be synchronized with your PalmPilot if all six CorelCENTRAL fields are full.

Categories and CorelCENTRAL Address Books

Address Book records are organized in PalmPilot by categories (such as Business and Personal). Address Book records in CorelCENTRAL are organized by groups (such as Person and Organization).

CorelCENTRAL groups are not supported by PalmPilot, and will not synchronize. However, PalmPilot Address Book categories are supported in CorelCENTRAL with the Category field.

The first time you synchronize with the My Addresses address book, a Category field is added to each record in My Addresses. This field matches the category assigned to the same record in your PalmPilot. If the Category field is blank, then you know therecord is assigned to the Unfiled category in your PalmPilot.

If you assign a category to a record in CorelCENTRAL or PalmPilot, or rename a category, the change is reflected the next time you HotSync. If you enter a new category in the Category field of a record in CorelCENTRAL, the new category is added to PalmPilot the next time you HotSync. If you create a new category on your PalmPilot, it will not show up in CorelCENTRAL until you assign at least one record in PalmPilot to the category.

If you delete a category on your PalmPilot, all the records are moved to the Unfiled category. The next time you HotSync, the Category field in CorelCENTRAL will be empty for those records. If you delete the text in the Category field for a record in CorelCENTRAL, the next time you HotSync, the record will be assigned to the Unfiled category on your PalmPilot.

Duplicate Address Book Records

If you change the same record in CorelCENTRAL and your PalmPilot, then synchronize, the HotSync Manager duplicates the record both places. Changes include editing information or attributes (such as Private on the PalmPilot).

For example, if you change the phone number for Emilia Jennings in CorelCENTRAL, then you change her address on your PalmPilot. The next time you synchronize, the HotSync Manager makes a duplicate of each record. Now, you have two Emilia Jennings records in CorelCENTRAL (one with the edited phone number and one with the edited address) and the same two records on your PalmPilot.

Duplicate records can cause problems. To avoid duplicate records, change information in CorelCENTRAL or your PalmPilot only between HotSync's.

About PalmPilot and the Calendar

The following information provides details about synchronizing the PalmPilot with the Events List and the To Do List in CorelCENTRAL.

Synchronized To Do Item Information

During synchronization, the following To Do item information is exchanged and updated between PalmPilot and CorelCENTRAL.

PalmPilot	CorelCENTRAL
To Do Item Text	Subject
Priority (1-5)	To Do Priority (Highest to Lowest)
Category	Categories
Due Date	Due Date
Private	not supported
Note	Message
not supported	Start Date
not supported	% Complete
If you have a Start Date in a CorelCENTRAL To Do item, but no Due Date, the Start Date will be synchronized with the Due Date in your PalmPilot.

The only support for % Complete in PalmPilot is 100%.

Synchronized Event Information

During synchronization, the following event information is exchanged and updated between PalmPilot and CorelCENTRAL.

PalmPilot	CorelCENTRAL
Event text	Subject
Time	Start Time, Duration
Date	Start Date
Alarm	Alarm
Repeat	Duration (multi-day event)
Private	not supported
Note	Message
not supported	Place
Although you can set the alarm for a number of minutes, hours, or days before the event in both PalmPilot and CorelCENTRAL, PalmPilot does not support the CorelCENTRAL Snooze or Sound File features.

Group Events

Group events in the CorelCENTRAL Calendar are marked as read-only. If you edit the group event, it is converted to a personal event.

If you synchronize a group event in CorelCENTRAL with the PalmPilot Date Book, then edit the event in PalmPilot, the event is inserted as a new personal event in CorelCENTRAL the next time you synchronize. This means that both the original group event and the new personal event are displayed in the CorelCENTRAL Calendar (and may appear to be duplicates of the same event).

Recurring Events

When you edit a recurring event in the CorelCENTRAL Calendar, the changes are applied to all occurrences of the event

When you edit a recurring (repeating) event in the PalmPilot Date Book, you can choose to have the change applied to the current event only (Current) or all occurrences of the event (All). If you select All in version 1.x, the change applies to all occurrences (past, current, and future).  If you select All in version 2.0, the change applies only to the current and future occurrences.

If you synchronize a recurring event in CorelCENTRAL and PalmPilot, then edit only one occurrence of the event in the PalmPilot Date Book, the next time you HotSync, the edited PalmPilot event will be displayed in the CorelCENTRAL Calendar as a duplicate event for that date.

If you make a change to the recurring event in CorelCENTRAL, the next time you HotSync, the change will affect all occurrences of the event in PalmPilot, including any with different information.

Only those occurrences that change in PalmPilot will be modified in CorelCENTRAL during synchronization. If you are using version 2.0, and want to edit all occurrences of a recurring event, make sure you edit the first occurrence, then select All. The next time you HotSync, all occurrences will be updated in CorelCENTRAL.

Special Occasions

Special occasions in the CorelCENTRAL Calendar are converted to recurring events in the PalmPilot Date Book. If you edit a single occurrence of the event on PalmPilot (instead of all occurrences), then HotSync, a duplicate of the special occasion will be displayed in the CorelCENTRAL Calendar for that date.

Categories and the To Do List

The categories you assign to the items in the To Do List of PalmPilot and CorelCENTRAL are compatible. This means that after synchronization, the same categories will be assigned to all To Do items in both PalmPilot and CorelCENTRAL.

If you create a new category and do not assign the category to a To Do item, the category is still synchronized. If you delete a category, it is removed from PalmPilot and CorelCENTRAL during synchronization. Deleting a category in CorelCENTRAL or PalmPilot does not remove the To Do items, just the category assignment.

If you have more than one category assigned to a To Do item in CorelCENTRAL, only the first category in the list is synchronized with your PalmPilot.

PalmPilot and HTML Messages

When you create a message for a CorelCENTRAL event or To Do item, you are actually creating an HTML document. Because PalmPilot does not support HTML, the messages display in the PalmPilot Note screen as text with HTML tags. Each time you synchronize, the HTML tags are used in CorelCENTRAL to format the message for the event or To Do item.

If you remove or edit a tag in the PalmPilot Note screen, the original formatting for the message in CorelCENTRAL will not be preserved, and you may have to reformat the message text in CorelCENTRAL the next time you HotSync.

Editing Personal Events/To Do Items

When you create a personal event or To Do item in CorelCENTRAL, then HotSync, the event or To Do item is copied to the PalmPilot Date Book. At this point, both records are identical and have the same identification (ID) number. This is true for personal events or To Do items created with or without the Netscape Communicator style of dialog box (includes the Page Composer).

However, if you edit a personal event or To Do item in CorelCENTRAL that was created using the Netscape Communicator style of dialog box, the record ID for the event or To Do item is automatically changed in CorelCENTRAL.

This means that the event or To Do item is treated like a new record during synchronization. And, if you edit the event or To Do item in both CorelCENTRAL and PalmPilot, then HotSync, the HotSync Log will indicate that you deleted the record because the old record ID no longer exists in CorelCENTRAL.

About ASCII Delimiter Setup

When you import or export an ASCII file with CorelCENTRAL, you can set delimiters for fields and records. You can also select an encapsulation character and create (export) or identify (import) a file header.

Field and Record Delimiters

CorelCENTRAL provides the following set of standard delimiters for fields and records: CR - Carriage Return, LF - Line Feed, CRLF - Carriage Return and Line Feed, Tab, and Comma. These can be selected from the ASCII Delimiter Setup dialog box when you import or export an ASCII file.

If you are importing an ASCII file, it is important to select the correct delimiters to have a successful import. Check the Preview window in the ASCII Setup Delimiter dialog box to see which delimiters are being used in the file you are importing. A large space indicates a tab, a comma is displayed as a comma, a new line is an LF (Line Feed), and a | character is a CR (Carriage Return).

If you exported an ASCII file from another program and did not use the delimiters available in CorelCENTRAL, you will need to export the file again with the available delimiters before you can import it into CorelCENTRAL.

Encapsulation Characters

A set of encapsulation characters is sometimes used in ASCII files to surround text in a field. If there is an encapsulation character in the file you want to import, or if you need to add encapsulation characters to file you want to export, select the character from the Encapsulation Character drop-down list. CorelCENTRAL supports the following encapsulation characters: <> - angle brackets, {} - curly-brackets, [] - square brackets, "" - double quotes, '' - single quotes, and () - parentheses.

When you import, the encapsulation characters are "stripped" from the text so that they do not appear with the field information. When you export, a set of encapsulation characters is added to each field.

If the file you are importing does not have encapsulation characters, or if you do not need to add encapsulation characters when exporting, select None from the Encapsulation Character drop-down list.

File Header

Some ASCII files include a record at the very beginning of the file with a name for each field. This record is called a file header.

If you are importing an ASCII file with a file header (you can check the Preview window), then make sure you click File header in the ASCII Delimiter Setup dialog box.

If you are exporting, click File header if you want CorelCENTRAL to add a record at the top of the file with all the field names listed in the Card Detail view.

Use Search Messages to find messages that contain the words you specify. You can search in any folder, and in any part of the message (sender, subject line, body, and so on) for specific keywords. You can also specify whether you want messages that contain the keywords you type.

For example, you can search for all messages that do not contain "Bjorn Svenson" in the "To" field. CorelCENTRAL gives you a list of all messages you sent except those addressed to Bjorn. You can also click the "More" button to use several search keys at once. For example, you can search for all messages that you sent before June 17, 1998 with "Cats" in the subject line.
