Typing Characters

Many of the topics in your BOOKMAN Sidekick let you type and save entries that consist of fields, or items of infor- mation. For example, below are fields in a single-day appointment.

To Type Letters and Accents

At fields that normally require letters, such as names and descriptions, the cursor appears as a flashing triangle. At such fields, simply press the letter keys to type letters.

The first letter in letter fields automati- cally types as a capital. To type a low- ercase letter as the first letter in a letter field, hold CAP and press a letter key. To type subsequent capitals, hold CAP and press the letter keys.

To accent a letter, type it and then hold

✩and press until the desired accent appears.

To Type Numbers

At fields that require numbers, such as dates and times, simply press the num- bered keys.

At other fields that often use numbers, such as ZIP codes, the number lock is turned on by default. At such fields, you can type letters from the top row (Q, W, E, R, T, Y, etc.) by holding ✩ and pressing the appropriate key. To unlock or relock the numbered keys, hold ✩ and press N.

Fields that require or normally use numbers are indicated by a flashing box cursor.

To Type Special Characters

At many fields, you can type a variety of special characters, such as mon- etary symbols and punctuation marks, by first holding ✩ and pressing S.

Then type the letter to the left of the symbol. Or use the arrow keys to high- light a symbol and then press ENTER.
