Writing on the screen

In programs that support writing (such as the Notes program as well as
the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks), you can use the stylus to
write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper; you can edit
and format what you have written and convert the information to text at a
later time.
Tap the Pen to switch to writing mode. While in writing mode, lines display
on the screen. These lines serve as a guide to help your Toshiba Pocket
PC e830 recognize the word when you convert the writing to text.

Selecting writing on the screen

If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first.
1.

Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the
insertion point appears.

2.

Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.
If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Edit, then Undo and try
again. You can also select text by tapping Pen to deselect it and then
dragging the stylus across the screen.

Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen
button. See the documentation for that program to find out
how to switch to writing mode.

Tap the pen button and
use the stylus like a pen.
