Using Pen Stroke mode
Pen Stroke mode allows you to write letters you want
to enter on the touch screen using the stylus pen as
you would on the paper. You can then tap or press
from the displayed choices corresponding to your pen
stroke. You can enter Chinese and English letters,
symbols, and numbers without having to change the
text input mode.
In this mode, you can also open the alphabetic,
numeric, and symbolic unscrewing keyboards and
enter text simply by tapping the characters on the
keyboard.
Tips for using Pen Stroke mode
• Because of the touch screens sensitivity, choices
displayed may differ each time you write a
character.
• If you cannot find the symbolic characters you
want with Pen Stroke mode, use the Symbol mode
to enter them.
