Using the Writing Mode to Enter Text in a Word Document
If you cross three ruled lines in a single stylus stroke, the writing becomes a drawing, and can be
edited and manipulated as described in the following section.
Written words are converted to graphics (metafiles) when a Pocket Word document is converted to
a Word document on your desktop computer.
3.5.1.3 Drawing Mode
In drawing mode, use your stylus to draw on the screen. Gridlines appear as a guide. When you lift
your stylus off the screen after the first stroke, you’ll see a drawing box indicating the boundaries of
the drawing. Every subsequent stroke within or touching the drawing box becomes part of the
drawing. See 3.1.3.3 Drawing on the Screen for more information.
