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.
