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 black).

Note: You can 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 done by using backspace.
Cut	Removes the selected text and stores it
	temporarily in the memory of your companion.
	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 companion.
	You can paste the text that you copy into
	another area of the current application or into a
	different application.
Paste	Inserts the text that you cut or copied at the
	selected point in a record. The text you paste
	replaces any selected text. If you did not
	previously cut or copy text, Paste does nothing.
Select All	Selects all of the text in the current record or
	screen. This enables you to cut or copy all of the
	text and paste it elsewhere.
