CHAPTER 27

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.
