CHAPTER 4 Entering Information on Your Handheld
Keys to success with Graffiti 2 writing
Keep these guidelines in mind when using Graffiti 2 writing:
• Write the characters exactly as shown In the following tables. Don’t write the dot. It’s only there
to show you where to begin writing the character.
• The Graffiti 2 writing area has two sections. Write lowercase letters on the left, numbers on the
right, and capital letters across the middle.
• Write at a natural speed, and do not write on a slant.
• Press firmly.
• Write large characters.
If you’re already familiar with Graffiti writing from an older Palm Powered device, Graffiti 2 writing
will be easy to master. Characters are entered in exactly the same way, except for i, t, k, and the
number 4. These letters are now made with two strokes, just the way you would write them if you
were using a pen and paper.
Also, you no longer have to use the punctuation shift stroke for common punctuation like periods,
commas, or @. Just write these characters on the correct side of the input area and your handheld
immediately recognizes them.
Did You Know?
Graffiti 2 characters made
with two strokes are
recognized after the
second stroke. Make the
second stroke quickly
after the first so that the
correct character is
recognized.
Did You Know?
Write uppercase letters
the same way you write
lowercase ones. The only
difference is where you
write them.
Tip
Your handheld has tables
displaying all of the
Graffiti 2 characters, short
cuts, and commands.
Customize your handheld
so you can display these
characters by drawing a
line from the bottom of
the screen to the top.
