Editing records
After you create a record, you can change, delete, or enter new text at any time.
Two screen features tell you when your handheld is in Edit mode:
■ A blinking cursor
■ 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 Graffiti writing, the onscreen keyboard,
or the keyboard attached to your computer, see Chapter 3. For information on
entering text in Note Pad, see Chapter 11.
