The Editor Window can operate in two different modes. With
Horizontal Editor
turned off, text that is
displayed in the Editor Window will fill it from left to right until it reaches the right edge. When there are too
many characters to fit on a single line (at the current font size), text will start appearing on the next line and if
necessary, the text will scroll up. The scroll bar on the right can be used to scroll up and down to see any
line of text. If the Edit Window height is small and the font is large, the text will seem to disappear as it
scrolls up and out of view. Horizontal editor scrolling can be turned on by selecting the
Horizontal Editor
menu item. In this mode, text will fill the Editor Window from the left to right as before. When text reaches the
right side of the Editor Window, all of the text will begin to scroll horizontally to the left. This mode will allow
you to always see the last few words in the Editor Window, but will not allow you to see any text that has
scrolled out of the Editor Window.
If you find that the menus and toolbar are taking up too much screen space, or if you want to prevent a user
from accessing these controls, you can hide them by selecting the
Full Screen
menu item. When you select
this option, you will see a dialog box telling you how to exit Full Screen mode, then the menus and toolbar
will disappear.
To exit Full Screen mode, press the Inbox hardware button on the front face of the Axim (second button from
the right; it has a picture of an envelope) twice in quick succession. If you are in Dedicated Device mode
(see section 4.8), you will be given the option to specify a Full Screen password. You might want to specify a
password if you are using Full Screen mode to prevent the user from accessing menus (either deliberately or
accidentally). This password will be required to exit the mode. If you forget your password, use the
emergency password "bosco" to exit.
If you want to clear the Editor Window of any text, you can choose the
Clear Editor
menu item. This does
the same thing as opening the
File
menu and choosing
New
except that it will not ask you if you want to
save the text to a file. This function can also be accessed through a toolbar button and through any clear
buttons in the current configuration.
Note:
Although the
Clear Editor
command does not prompt you to save your text in a file, an
Undo
button can be used to undo a
Clear Editor
action - allowing you to retrieve your text if you
accidentally cleared the Editor WIndow of text you wanted to save.
If you want to copy the contents of the Editor Window to another application, first choose the
Copy Editor
menu item. This will copy the editor text into the clipboard. You can now paste the text into another
application using the
Paste
command (or keyboard shortcut) within that application.
When the Palmtop software is running, you will not have access to the Windows Mobile
Start
menu (the
menu that lists the applications on the device). To access the
Start
menu, select
View > Hide Program
from
the menu bar. After you do this, the software will disappear and you will see the "Today" screen of Windows
Mobile. You can now select whatever application you want using the
Start
menu. When you are ready to
return to the Palmtop software, select
Start > Programs > Palmtop Impact
.
Note:
The
Hide Program
option is not available when the Palmtop software is operating in
Dedicated Device mode.
To access the online help, select
Help Topics
. For information on the configuration that is currently loaded
into the software, select
About Config
. To get information about the Impact software, including the version
number and product ID, select
About IMPACT
.
