The address and subject lines in an email,
text, or multimedia message you compose,
as well as the message body, are also
text-entry fields.
Entering lowercase and uppercase letters
By default, the first letter of each sentence
or field is capitalised and the remaining text
you enter is lowercase. In some cases, the
initial capital letter does not appear until
after you finish typing the first word and

the following:
•
Press Shift and enter a letter. You
don’t need to press and hold Shift while
entering a letter.
•
Press Shift twice to turn on Caps
Lock, and then enter a series of letters.

key of the desired character. You don’t

key.

TIP
Some fields that display a right arrow—for
example, the Attendees field in Calendar or
the Categories field in Contacts or Tasks—are
selection fields, not text-entry fields. In a
selection field, press
Centre or Right to view
additional options.
TIP
If a field displays both a right and a left
arrow, it is not a text-entry field. Instead, it is a
field for which a list is available (see Selecting
options in a list).
