NOTE
In Note Pad you can write anywhere on the screen. So, you will not see an edit
line or blinking cursor.
Entering text
For information on how to enter text using Graffiti writing, the onscreen keyboard,
or the keyboard attached to your computer, 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. When the
drawing area is selected in Note Pad, Undo erases the last line
drawn.
Clear Note
Erases the drawing from a note in Note Pad. Clear Note appears in
the Edit menu only when the drawing area is selected.
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.
