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.
Edit line
Blinking cursor
