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 also double tap to select a word, or triple tap to select a line of text.

You can also 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

example, if you used Cut to remove text, Undo restores

 

the text you removed. Undo also reverses deletions

 

done by using backspace.

Cut

the memory of your handheld. You can paste the text

 

you cut into another area of the current application or

 

into a different application.

memory of your handheld. You can paste the text that

 

you copy into another area of the current application or

 

into a different application.

point in a record. The text you paste replaces any

 

selected text. If you did not previously cut or copy text,

 

Paste does nothing.
