Tip

Right after you write a
character, your handheld
interprets a quick tap on
the screen as a period
character. If you want to
tap a button, either wait a
few seconds or
temporarily turn off full-
screen writing by tapping
the shaded box in the
lower-right corner. The
shaded box changes to a
box outline when Writing
Area Preferences are off.
