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.

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 CLIÉ 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 CLIÉ 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

enables you to cut or copy all of the text and paste it
elsewhere.

Keyboard

Opens the onscreen keyboard. When you finish with the
onscreen keyboard, tap Done.

®

character strokes.

Use this command any time you forget a stroke for a
character.
