Writing capital letters
You make capital letters with the same stroke shapes as the basic
alphabet characters. To make capital letters, you must first “shift” to
caps — just as you press the Shift key on a keyboard — and then write
the character strokes.
Note: Graffiti writing includes a feature that automatically
capitalizes the first letter when you create a new sentence or a
new record (by tapping New or a blank line).
To draw the first letter of a word as a capital letter:
■
Use the Caps Shift stroke:
Tip: When Caps Shift is active, an “up arrow” symbol appears
in the lower-right corner of the organizer screen. If you
accidentally activate Caps Shift, backspace will cancel it.
To enter only capital letters (Caps Lock):
■
Use the Caps Lock stroke:
Tip: When Caps Lock is active, an underlined “up arrow”
symbol appears in the lower-right corner of the organizer
screen. To return to lowercase, make the Caps Shift
stroke.
Writing numbers
Writing numbers with Graffiti writing is similar to writing letters of
the alphabet, except that you make the character strokes on the right-
hand side (numbers side) of the Graffiti writing area.
