Entering text
For information on how to enter text using the keyboard on your handheld or the
keyboard attached to your computer, see Chapter 3. For information on entering
text in Note Pad, see Chapter 11.
Using the 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 yellow).
NOTE
You can also double-tap to select a word, or triple-tap to select a line of
text. You can also 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 you made using the backspace.
Cut
Removes the selected text and stores it temporarily in the memory
of your handheld. 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. You can paste the copied text into another area of
the current application or into a different application.
Paste
Inserts the cut or copied text 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 the text in the current record or screen. This enables you
to cut or copy all of the text and paste it elsewhere.
Keyboard
Opens the onscreen keyboard. After you finish with the onscreen
keyboard, press Function + Enter
,
or tap Done.
