Psion 3a Series - Changing an Entry

Changing an entry
Crossing out an entry
You can use the cross-out facility to mark entries that are completed or cancelled.
• Move to the entry concerned and select the 'Cross out entry' option on the 'Entry'
menu. The entry will be displayed with a line through it.
If you cross out alarmed entries, the alarm is disabled.
You can take the cross-out off an entry by repeating the same procedure. (The 'Cross
out entry' option changes to 'Reinstate entry'.) If an alarm had been set for the entry, it
will be re-enabled.
To-do lists can fill up with crossed out entries. If this happens, you can use the 'To-do
list settings' option, and set 'Display crossed out entries' to 'No' for the list concerned.
If 'Display entries in
general views' in this dialog is set to 'Yes', and the bottom line of
the dialog is set to 'Yes', crossed out entries with a suitable priority will still be
displayed in other views. You can therefore still use your Agenda to look back at when
you did different to-dos. without them filling up the to-do view itself. (If you don't wish
to do this, you should tidy your agenda, as explained later.)
Bgf If you take the cross-out off a to-do entry which is shown in the past in other views,
it becomes "valid" and will then be displayed on today. If, for example, you are
currently on a different day in the Day view, the entry vanishes from the screen;
however, the message "Entry crossed out" is shown.
Changing the appearance of entry text
You can change the appearance of any entry with the 'Set style for entry' option on the
'Entry' menu. This lets you set the entry's style to bold, italics, underline, or any
combination of the three.
To change the default style (to be used for all future entries), select the 'Set
preferences' option, and choose either 'Day entry defaults', 'Anniversary defaults' or
'To-do entry defaults'. Each of these presents a dialog
which includes a 'Default style'
line. Move onto this line and press Tab, and you can set the default style for that type of
entry.
Changing the entry type
Use the 'Change entry type' option on the 'Edit' menu to change an entry to a different
entry type. For example, you might want to change a to-do entry into a day entry, or
vice versa.
'Change entry type' asks for the entry details appropriate for the new kind of entry. The
entry will then be displayed in the views appropriate to its new type.
[Eg= If you are on an entry in the past and you change it to a to-do entry, the to-do will be
displayed on the current day. The only way you can display it in the past - should
you so wish - is to cross out the original entry before you change it to a to-do.
Changing the date of an entry
You can move an entry to a different date with the 'Change entry date' option on the
'Edit' menu. This even lets you change the due date and warning date of a to-do.
