Closing screens

To accept the information you entered on a screen and to return to the previous screen, do one of the following:

•Press OK .

•Use the stylus to tap or in the upper-right corner of the screen.

NOTE When you close a screen, the application still runs in memory. See the Using Your Palm® Treo™ 700wx user guide for instructions about viewing the amount of memory in use versus the available memory, and for instructions about closing applications and freeing up memory.

Highlighting and selecting items

On most screens, one item—a button, a list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by default. The highlight identifies which item is affected by your next action. Use the

5-way to move the highlight from one item to another before opening or selecting it.

The highlight can take one of two forms, depending on what is highlighted:

•Border glow: This rectangular border highlights items such as an onscreen button (such as OK, Dismiss, or Hide), a check box, an option, or a web link.

•Reverse type (light text on a dark background): This highlights items such as a phone number, an email address, text, or an item in a list.

After highlighting an item with the 5-way, you can select or activate it by pressing

Center or by tapping the item with the stylus.

TIP The best way to learn to use the 5-way is to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons and as you do, follow the movement of the border glow around the screen. The behavior of the 5-way varies slightly in each application.
