Using Your Basic Applications

Entering text

For information on how to enter text using Graffiti writing, the
onscreen keyboard, or the keyboard attached to your computer, see
Chapter 2.

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 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.

Cut

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

Select All

Selects all of the text in the current record or
screen. This enables you to cut or copy all of the
text and paste it elsewhere.
