Highlighting Items

The 5-way

lets you highlight items before opening or selecting them.

Experiment with using the 5-way to highlight different screen elements.

When an onscreen button (OK, Cancel, etc.) or pick list is
highlighted, the button acquires a glow around its border.

When a phone number, email address, or Web
link is highlighted on a Web page or in a
message, the text appears in reverse type
(light text on a dark background).

When an entire text entry field is highlighted, you can press Center to edit the
text. After you edit the text, press Center again to highlight the entire field.

You can also use the stylus to highlight text on the screen. When text is
highlighted it appears in reverse type. You can highlight text in three
different ways:

Drag the stylus across the text you want to highlight.

Double-tap a word to highlight it.

Triple-tap a line of text to highlight it.

Accessing Command Buttons

Command buttons, such as New, OK, and Details, appear at the bottom of the
screen. In many cases you can jump directly to these buttons instead of scrolling
to them.

From a list screen, such as the Contacts list, press Right to jump to the
first button.
