Composing and sending messages — Automatic formatting

Automatic formatting
The handheld’s built-in formatting capabilities extend beyond the
AutoText function to reduce your typing time.
Auto capitalization
As you compose a message, you do not have to worry about
pressing the
SHIFT
key to capitalize words — the handheld has two
methods of performing capitalization for you.
•
Begin typing; you will see that the first letter you type is
capitalized automatically and that every letter following a
period becomes capitalized too. The handheld recognizes the
beginning of a new sentence and does the work for you.
•
If you want any other characters to be capitalized, press and
hold the character key until it becomes capitalized. You must
have the Key Rate (Options>Screen/Keyboard) option set to
either Slow or Fast for this feature to work. See page 140 for
details on setting the Screen/Keyboard options.
Auto punctuation
You can insert a period automatically at the end of a sentence or
word by pressing the
SPACE
key twice. The next letter you type will
be capitalized.
Email fields
You can type an email address in an Email field of the Address
Entry
screen without pressing the
ALT
key. Begin typing an email
address; instead of pressing
ALT
+
L
to insert the ‘@’ sign, simply
press the
SPACE
key to do so. When you press the
SPACE
key again, a
‘.’ character will be inserted.
