Did You Know?
Graffiti 2 characters made with two strokes are recognized after the second stroke. Make the second stroke quickly after the first so that the correct character is recognized.
Did You Know?
Write uppercase letters the same way you write lowercase ones. The only difference is where you write them.
Tip
Your handheld has tables displaying all of the Graffiti 2 characters, short cuts, and commands. Display these tables by drawing a line from the bottom of the screen to the top.

Keys to success with Graffiti 2 writing
Keep these guidelines in mind when using Graffiti 2 writing:
•Write the characters exactly as shown in the following tables. Don’t write the dot. It’s only there to show you where to begin writing the character.
•The input area has two sections. Write lowercase letters on the left, numbers on the right, and capital letters across the middle.
•Write at a natural speed, and do not write on a slant.
•Press firmly.
•Write large characters.
If you’re already familiar with Graffiti writing from an older Palm Powered™ device, Graffiti 2 writing will be easy to master. Characters are entered in exactly the same way, except for i, t, k, and the number 4. These letters are now made with two strokes, just the way you would write them if you were using a pen and paper.
Also, you no longer have to use the Punctuation Shift stroke for common punctuation like periods and commas or for @. Just write these characters on the correct side of the input area and your handheld immediately recognizes them.
