If you own a PPC handheld device, you can exchange stickies with it. Check the "PPC support" check box on the General options tab, and two extra menu items appear - one on each sticky right-click menu "Send to PPC" and one on the task-tray menu "Import from PPC".

Usage

In order to view and edit the stickies on the PPC, you will need to run Stickies for PPC.

When you run it, you'll see a sticky on your PPC screen. You can now open your favourite IM (input method; keyboard, transcriber etc), and enter text. If you would like a second PPC sticky, tap the title bar (the black horizontal lines), and choose New. The menu which appears also shows a list of your current stickies. To switch to any of these, click on it. Your current sticky is automatically saved when you do this, or exit the program.

To remove a sticky, tap the cross in the top-right.

Once desktop Stickies PPC support is enabled, the additional menu item on the task-tray right-click menu, "Import from PPC" will transfer stickies from the PPC to your desktop machine.

However, if you tap the down-pointing arrow in the top-left hand corner of the PPC sticky, it will change to pointing upwards, and this sticky will remain on your PPC when an ActiveSync is performed.

Desktop stickies are sent to the PPC with the menu item "Send to PPC" which appears when you enable the PPC support as outlined above.

If you also check the "Auto import on dock" check box on the General options tab, all stickies on your PPC not set to stay on it will be transferred will be whenever you ActiveSync.

The stickies on the PPC are stored in the "stickies" directory which is created under \My Documents

Download

Stickies for PPC is now freeware. Please use this code to register the application, otherwise you will run into the Shareware vowel restriction - notes you transfer to or from the device will have their vowels replaced by asterisks:

In order to get your vowels working correctly, you need to enter the key into Stickies. Open the Options dialog by right-clicking the tray icon, and choosing 'Options...'. Then select the 'PDA' tab, and click the 'Enter PDA key' button.

Copy and paste the key above into the box and click OK. The status will change from 'UNREGISTERED' to 'Registered'.

The PDA Stickies connection to the desktop will now be unrestricted, and your next sync will work without interference.

If at any time you need to reinstall the connection, repeat the above procedure to derestrict it again.
