Using basic applications
Using the 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 the text that you
select in an application.
Selecting 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).
Notes
• 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.
Edit menu
To display the Edit menu, tap the Menu
icon and then select Edit.
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.
Cut
Removes the selected text and stores it temporarily in the memory of your
CLIE handheld. You can paste the text you cut into another area of the current
application or into a different application.
Copy
Copies the selected text and stores it temporarily in the memory of your CLIE
handheld. You can paste the text that you copy into another area of the current
application or into a different application.
Paste
Inserts the text that you cut or copied at the selected point in a record. The text
you paste replaces any selected text. If you did not previously cut or copy text,
Paste does nothing.
Select all
Selects all of the text in the current record or screen. This enables you to cut or
copy all of the text and paste it elsewhere.
Key board
Opens the onscreen keyboard. When you finish with the onscreen keyboard,
tap Done.
Graffiti Help
Opens screens that show all the Graffiti character strokes. Use this command
any time you forget a stroke for a character.
