Troubleshooting
I can't read the text on the Details Pages; how can I make the font larger/easier to read?
Go to the Database Home Page and tap on your handheld's "Menu" icon. Select "Viewer Options." A pop-up window will appear; check the desired boxes to change the font to the Palm OS® system default font and/or make the font size larger. Note that some special characters aren't supported by the Palm OS® system default font, and therefore may be displayed incorrectly.

I'm using a Sony Clié™ device with Palm OS® 4.x, and the text on the Details Pages is too large and getting cut off at the bottom; what's wrong?
Go into the "Preferences" options from your Sony Clié's™ home screen, select "HiRes" in the upper-right dropdown menu, then check the "Enable High Resolution Assist" box, and finally check the DataViewer box in the "(Except for these selected applications below)" window. If that doesn't work, try unchecking the DataViewer box but leave the "Enable High Resolution Assist" box checked.
