In Note Pad you can write anywhere on the screen. So, you

will not see an edit line or blinking cursor.

Entering text

For information on how to enter text using Graffiti writing, the
onscreen keyboard, or the keyboard attached to your computer, see
Chapter 2. For information on entering text in Note Pad, see “Note
Pad” l
ater in this chapter.

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 text
that you select in an application.

To select 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).

Note:

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.

The following commands may appear in an Edit menu:

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.

Edit line

Blinking cursor
