Common applications tasks
The tasks described in this section use the term records to refer to an individual item
in any of the basic applications, for example, a single Date Book event, Address Book
entry, To Do List item, Memo Pad memo, or Expense item.
Creating records
You can use the following procedure to create a new record in Date Book, Address
Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Expense.
To create a record:
1 Select the application in which you want to create a record.
2Tap New.
For the Date Book only, select start and end times for your appointment and tap OK.
3 Enter text for the record.
NOTE: Acer s10 automatically capitalizes the first letter of each field (except numeric and
email fields).
4 As an option, tap Details to select attributes for the record.
5 In the Address Book and Memo Pad only, tap Done.
Acer s10 saves the new record automatically.
Editing records
After you create a record, you can change, delete, or add new information at any
time. Two indicators will tell when your screen is in edit mode:
• a blinking cursor appears within the information, and
• the information appears on a dotted gray line called an edit line.
You can enter text in any of the ways described in "2 Entering data in your Acer s10"
on page 23.
