Using Your Basic Applications

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 text
that you select in an application.

To select 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 (in black).

Note: 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.

The following commands may appear in an Edit menu:

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.
When the drawing area is selected in Note Pad,
Undo erases the last line drawn.

Clear Note

Erases the drawing from a note in Note Pad.
Clear Note appears in the Edit menu only when
the drawing area is selected.

Cut

Removes the selected text and stores it
temporarily in the memory of your 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 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.
