Mobile LinkDoc Overview

LinkDoc is a document reading program for the Palm Computing Platform. It reads the "Doc" format databases, the standard in PalmOS large text documents. LinkDoc also supports bookmarks and adds the ability to create links within and between documents. LinkDoc is unique as it leaves a maximum amount of the window available for reading, while still providing some useful navigation buttons and status indicators at the bottom of the screen.

If you need help in the application, please press the "i" at the top of almost any screen.

LinkDoc System Requirements

LinkDoc requires PalmOS 2.0 or above. Therefore, you may utilize the PalmPilot Personal or Professional, Palm III, Palm IIIx, PalmV, or any newer device. Mobile Generation Software has not fully tested LinkDoc with any 3rd party memory boards, accessories, or operating system altering hacks.  Therefore, use these in conjunction with LinkDoc at your own risk.

How to Install LinkDoc

Use the Palm Computing Installation tool to install linkdoc.prc. Install any standard "doc" formatted .pdb databases similarly.  A few of the "doc" databses have been included in the zip file and there are hundreds more available at www.memoware.com. For more information on installing software on your Palm device, check out the Palm software installation wizard at http://www.nearlymobile.com.

Usage

Start up

If LinkDoc is unregistered, it will launch into the "bug me" screen in order to remind you that you have not registered your version of LinkDoc. If you tap the "register later" button, you will be launched into either documents list or an open document, depending on where you closed the application last time.

The Document List

The Main screen of the LinkDoc application is the document list. This list displays the currently selected document with an arrow next to the name. Tapping the "Open" button will open the selected document and tapping the "Properties" button will view the properties of the selected document. To change the selected document, tap the area to the left of the doument. You can also select a document for opening by tapping on the name of the document.

Viewing a Document

Select to "open" the document as described in the "Document List" section above.

The 'Appointment' and 'Memo' hard keys page the document up and down. The 'Phone' and 'To Do' hard keys move the document up and down a single line. Tapping on the progress scale, in normal button mode, causes the document to jump to the selected position. Words that are highlighted represent links to bookmarks in the current document, or in other documents. Jump to the link by tapping within the highlighted area. Links are modified by highlighting the entire link selection.

Bookmarks are set to return to the top position of the current screen. If a word is selected in the document, it will be copied into the bookmark caption. A paste menu option is also available to the Bookmark form. The maximum length of a bookmark caption is 16 characters.
