Entering Text Using Word Mode
Word recognizes the most commonly used word for any sequence of key presses
and inserts that word into your message. It’s much faster than the traditional method
of text entry (Abc) and requires only one key press per letter of the word that you’re
spelling.
1. From the main screen, press the left soft key Message, then press
New Message, TXT Message to compose a new text
message.
2. Enter the phone number or email address of the recipient, then use the
Navigation wheel or the Center Select key ( ) to move to the Text field.
3. Press the left soft key Abc to display a pop-up menu containing text
entry mode options.
4. Abc is highlighted by default. Use the Navigation wheel to highlight Word,
then press the Center Select key ( ).
Now, for practice, enter the word “Hello” into your message by pressing
each of the following keys only once:
Word mode displays the most frequently used word for the sequence of
numbers entered. The word you just entered is “Hello”. If more than one
word shares the same sequence, Word mode can display other matches
for the entered sequence of numbers as found in the default or user
dictionary. Press
to display other words in the dictionary, if available.
• If Word mode does not find the match that you desire, you can enter a new
word into the user dictionary by doing the following:
1. Switch to Abc mode by pressing the left soft key Word. Highlight Abc
and press the Center Select key ( ).
2. Use Abc mode to enter the desired word on the screen. For more
information, refer to "Entering Characters in Abc Mode" on page 52.
Be sure the word is spelled correctly before pressing the space key.
3. When you press to enter space after the word, the new word is
automatically added to the user dictionary.
