After highlighting an item with the 5-way,
you can select or activate it by pressing
Center

or by tapping the item with the

stylus.

Highlighting text

You can use the stylus to highlight text on
the screen:

Tap and drag the stylus across the text
you want to highlight. To highlight a
word, double-tap it. To highlight a
paragraph, triple-tap it.

Using the action keys

The left and right action keys give you quick
access to tasks that you can do on the
current screen, so the action key items
vary from application to application and
from screen to screen. Look on the screen
directly above the action key to see the
action that it does in the current context. In
some contexts, these keys may do nothing
at all. In most cases the right action key

opens the menu, and the left action

key

activates a specific command,

such as New or Edit. Remember that
action key functions vary from screen to
screen, so be sure to check the onscreen
label before pressing an action key.

TIP

The best way to learn to use the 5-way is

to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons and as
you do, follow the movement of the border
glow around the screen. The behavior of the
5-way varies slightly in each application.
