Using Your Applications
Entering text
For information on entering text using Graffiti writing, the onscreen
keyboard, or your computer keyboard, see Chapter 2. For information
on entering text in Note Pad, see “Note Pad” later in this chapter.
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 also double tap to select a word, or triple tap to
select a line of text.
You can also 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 handheld. 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 handheld. 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.
