Allegro Tips
As you use your eBook, you'll find that there are times when you need to enter some words or text of
your own. For example, you may want to enter a word to look up in the dictionary. Or, you might need
to enter a number of words, as when you're adding a note to an eBook Edition.
Whenever you need to enter text, your eBook gives you two options. You can either use the on-screen
keyboard and tap the letters, or you can use the on-screen writing pad and write the characters with
your stylus. Which ever text entry option you used last will be selected by default, but you can select the
other at any time.
Accent marks can only be entered using the writing pad. To enter accented
characters, see
NOTE:
Writing With the Stylus.
Using the On-Screen Keyboard
If you'd like to practice text entry but a text entry window is not already displayed on the screen, first
open an eBook Edition, then tap the
icon and select

To enter text with the on-screen keyboard,
1. Make sure the text entry window is in keyboard mode.
If the text entry window is currently showing the writing pad and not the keyboard,
select the button labeled Keyboard.
The text entry window redisplays in keyboard mode.
2. Using the stylus, tap the characters you want.
The letters appear in the text box above the keyboard as you tap each
character.
If you make a mistake typing a character, use the stylus to move the cursor to the
right of the mistake, then tap the backspace key (the left arrow, next to the letter p).
If you hold the stylus down on the backspace key, you can delete multiple letters
easily.
You can also delete highlighted text using the backspace key. To highlight a portion
of the text, tap the first letter you want to highlight, then slide the stylus over the rest.
