Writing on the Screen

In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, the Notes

tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your stylus to write

directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and

format what you've written and convert the information to text at a later

time.

To write on the screen:

Tap Pen to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the

screen to help you write.

To select writing:

If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first.
1. Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the

insertion point appears.

2. Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.
If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Tools, then Undo and try again.

You can also select text by tapping Pen to deselect it and then dragging the

stylus across the screen.
You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with

typed text: tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing

command on the pop-up menu or tap the command on the Edit menu.

Tap the Pen button and

use your stylus like a

pen.

Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen button. See the

documentation for that program to find out how to switch to writing mode.
