onscreen keyboard, or the keyboard attached to your computer, see
Chapter 2.
Edit menu
The Edit menu is available with any screen where you enter or edit
text. In general, commands available in the Edit menu apply to text
that you
select in an application.
To select text in an application:
1. Tap the beginning of the text that you want to select.
2. Drag the stylus over the text to highlight it (in black).
Note:
You can drag across the text to select additional words, or
drag down to select a group of lines.
The following commands may appear in an Edit menu:
Undo Reverses the action of the last edit command. For
example, if you used Cut to remove text, Undo
restores the text you removed. Undo also
reverses deletions done by using backspace.
Cut
Removes the selected text and stores it
temporarily in the memory of your organizer.
You can paste the text you cut into another area
of the current application or into a different
application.
Copy Copies the selected text and stores it
temporarily in the memory of your organizer.
You can paste the text that you copy into
another area of the current application or into a
different application.
Paste Inserts the text that you cut or copied at the
selected point in a record. The text you paste
replaces any selected text. If you did not
previously cut or copy text, Paste does nothing.
Select All Selects all of the text in the current record or
screen. This enables you to cut or copy all of the
text and paste it elsewhere.
