For your handheld to recognize
handwriting input with the stylus, you
need to use Graffiti writing. See “Using
Graffiti writing to enter data” in
Chapter 2.

■

Make the Graffiti character strokes in
the Graffiti writing area, not on the
display part of the screen.

■

Write Graffiti strokes for letters in the
left-hand side, and the strokes for
numbers in the right-hand side of the
Graffiti writing area.

■

Make sure that Graffiti is not shifted into
extended or punctuation modes. See
“Using Graffiti writing to enter data” in
Chapter 2.

See “Graffiti tips” in Chapter 2 for tips
on increasing your accuracy when you
write Graffiti characters.
