Palm Zire 31 manual Using the full-screen writing area

CHAPTER 20 Customizing Your Handheld

[ ! ] Before You Begin

Turn on Writing Area Preferences as described in the previous section.

Tip

Right after you write a character, your handheld interprets a quick tap on the screen as a period character. If you want to tap a button, either wait a few seconds or temporarily turn off full- screen writing by tapping the shaded box in the lower-right corner. The shaded box changes to a box outline when Writing Area Preferences are off.

Using the full-screen writing area

1 Open the entry where you want to enter information:

a. Open an application.

b. Select a record or tap New.

Shaded box indicates Writing Area is on
