Tapping and writing problems
Problem Solution
When I tap the
buttons or screen
icons, my organizer
activates the wrong
feature. Calibrate the screen. See “Digitizer
preferences” in Chapter 7.
When I tap the Menu
icon , nothing
happens.
Not all applications or screens have menus.
Try changing to a different application.
I can’t get my
organizer to
recognize my
handwriting.
■
For your organizer to recognize
handwriting input with the stylus, you
need to use Graffiti
®
writing. See “Using
Graffiti writing to enter data” in
Chapter 2.
■
Make the Graffiti character strokes in
the Graffiti writing area, not on the
display part of the screen.
■
Write Graffiti strokes for letters in the
left-hand side, and the strokes for
numbers in the right-hand side of the
Graffiti writing area.
■
Make sure that Graffiti is not shifted into
extended or punctuation modes. See
“Using Graffiti writing to enter data” in
Chapter 2.
■
See “Graffiti tips” in Chapter 2 for tips
on increasing your accuracy when you
write Graffiti characters.
