Getting Started 18
Check box: where you make a choice between selecting an option or not
selecting it. Just tap on the check box, or press the left and right arrow keys to
add or remove a tick.
Radio buttons: where you make one choice from a number of options. Just
tap on an option, or use the left and right arrow keys to make a selection.
Note!ýIf a dialog line is grey, it is currently not available, usually because you
have to select something else first. For example, if you have not ticked the box
to set an alarm for an Calendar entry, the lines to set the alarm time and date
are grey. Some dialog lines only appear when another option has been chosen.
Some dialogs comprise a number of ‘pages’, each page has a ‘tab’ at the top.
Tap on the tab or move the highlight to the tab name, to go to that page. You
can also move a dialog around the screen by holding the pen on the dialog title
bar and dragging it across the screen.
How do I display a calendar?
In most dialogs in which you can type a date, move to the date line then tap
again or press Tab to display a calendar.
Today’s date is circled, and the date currently displayed in the dialog is
highlighted. To select another date, move to the date you want and press Enter.
Use the buttons on the top line, or further presses of the Tab key, to display a
three month or twelve month calendar. Tap the bottom page turn ups or ‘dog
ears’ to move between the pages of the calendar.
You can also display a calendar from the Calendar program. See the
“Calendar” chapter for more details.
Dialog buttons
Dialogs may have on-screen buttons. Tap on the button or use the keypress
combination under it. Some buttons have a standard keypress equivalent:
• Usually, you can tap the OK button or press the Enter key if you want
to save information and remove the dialog.
• Tap the Cancel button or press the Esc key if you want to remove the
dialog without saving the information.
• For dialogs that ask a question, you can tap the Yes button or press the
‘Y’ key for ‘yes’; tap the No button, press the ‘N’ key or press the Esc
key for ‘no’.
Copying information between programs
You can insert information created in one program into a different program.
This is known as ‘inserting’ an ‘object’.
For example, you may want to add a picture to a letter you are writing. To do
this, write the letter as normal using the Word program. Then, while in Word,
select the menu command to insert a sketch. This will start the Sketch
program, where you can create the picture. Close Sketch when you have
finished and the picture will be inserted in your letter.
