Typing in Notebook Software
To enter text in a Notebook file, just start typing. A text box appears, enlarging as you add more text, and
automatically wrapping when you reach the edge of the workspace.
If you want, you can create a custom-sized text box or resize an existing text box. With a custom text box,
the text automatically wraps at the right boundary, so it remains within the width you established. However,
with an existing text box, you can resize the box and the text will continue to fit the new size.
TIP
Consider using the on-screen keyboard for brief keyboard input required. Just press the
Keyboard button on the pen tray.
You can assign attributes to the text you type, such as a specific color or typeface. However, you can
easily reformat the text after you create it (see page 23).
To create a text object
1 Press the Text button.
2 Drag to create a text box.
3 Begin typing.
Your text appears, enclosed by a text box.
NOTE: The text you enter automatically wraps when it reaches the right edge of the box.
4 When you finish entering text, press outside the text box.
The text is now a separate object that you can select and modify, move, delete, or resize.
