Viewing and Editing Text
The Edit Menu
Each application has its own customized Edit Menu. You
can open the Edit Menu whenever you are in Edit mode. To
do so, press 3. To exit the Edit Menu, press 3 again.
The Edit Menus of all of the applications have the
following options:
Resume Editing
Closes the Edit Menu and returns you to the file or entry so
you can continue editing it.
Activate Overwrite/Insert Mode
In Insert mode, a blinking cursor appears between two
characters. If you add characters using the Opticard or
Character Bar, they are inserted after the cursor. In
Overwrite mode, the current character is highlighted.
Adding characters using the Opticard or Character Bar
overwrites the text, beginning with the highlighted character.
To switch from Insert mode to Overwrite mode, select
Activate Overwrite Mode from the Edit Menu. To switch
from Overwrite mode to Insert mode, select Activate
Overwrite Mode from the Edit Menu. (When the Pen is in
Insert mode, this option is labeled Activate Overwrite
Mode; when it is in Overwrite mode, the option is labeled
Activate Insert Mode.) The Pen returns to the Insert mode
when you move the cursor to a different field, finish editing
an entry, or exit from the current file.
