Tapping and writing problems

Problem

Solution

When I tap the
buttons or screen
icons, my organizer
activates the wrong
feature.

Calibrate the screen. See “Digitizer
preferences” in Chapter 8.

When I tap the Menu
icon

, nothing

happens.

Not all applications or screens have menus.
Try changing to a different application.

I can’t get my
organizer to
recognize my
handwriting.

For your organizer 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 “Graffiti tips” in Chapter 2 for tips

on increasing your accuracy when you
write Graffiti characters.
