Dialogue Buttons
Dialogues may have on-screen buttons. Tap on the button. Some buttons have a
standard keypress equivalent:
•
Usually, you can tap the OK button or press the Enter key if you want to
save information and remove the dialogue.
•
Tap the Cancel button or press the Esc key if you want to remove the dia-
logue without saving the information.
•
For dialogues that ask a question, you can tap the Yes button or press the Y
key for ‘yes’; tap the No button, press the N key, or press the Esc key for ‘no’.
2.8.7.2
How To Display A Calendar
In most dialogues in which you can type a date, move to the date line then tap again
or press Tab to display a calendar.
Today’s date is circled, and the date currently displayed in the dialogue is high-
lighted. To select another date, move to the date you want and press Enter. Use the
buttons on the top line, or further presses of the Tab key, to display a three month or
twelve month calendar. Use the “dog ears” to move between the pages of the calendar.
You can also display a calendar from the Agenda program. See the Agenda docu-
ment for more details.
2.8.8 Copying Information Between Programs
You can insert information created in one program into a different program. This is
known as “inserting” an “object”.
For example, you may want to add a picture to a letter you are writing. To do this,
write the letter as normal, for example using the Word program. Then, while in
Word, tap the Insert sketch button on the Toolbar or select the command from the
Insert menu. This will start the Sketch program (if it is installed), where you can
create the picture. Close Sketch when you have finished and the picture will be
inserted into your letter.
Sometimes the object you insert can be displayed as an icon, for example, if you
insert a large amount of Word text into an Agenda entry. (Agenda is netpad’s stan-
dard calendar program.) Alternatively, you may prefer to see the actual information
added, e.g. a map to view in the Word file.
