■ One or more dotted edit lines

NOTE In Note Pad you can write anywhere on the screen. Therefore, you will

not see an edit line or blinking cursor unless the cursor is in the title line.

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.
