Using basic applications

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
CLIE 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 CLIE
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

Selects all of the text in the current record or screen. This enables you to cut or
copy all of the text and paste it elsewhere.

Key board

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

Graffiti Help

Opens screens that show all the Graffiti character strokes. Use this command
any time you forget a stroke for a character.
