Palm Zire 72 manual Can’t get my handheld to recognize my handwriting

CHAPTER 29 Common Questions

I can’t get my handheld to recognize my handwriting.

For your handheld to recognize handwriting input with the stylus, you need to use Graffiti® 2 writing. Use the Graffiti 2 help to learn how to write characters.

NOTE Your handheld recognizes your own personal handwriting in the Note Pad application only.

•Make the Graffiti 2 character strokes in the Graffiti 2 input area, not on the display part of the screen. If you want to write on the display part of the screen, turn full-screen writing on.

•Write Graffiti 2 strokes for lowercase letters in the left side, strokes for capital letters in the middle, and strokes for numbers in the right side of the Graffiti 2 writing area.

•Make sure that Graffiti 2 is not in shift mode.

•Make sure that Graffiti 2 is not in Punctuation Shift mode.

The info I entered does not appear in an application.

•Check the Categories pick list in the upper-right corner of the application screen. Select All to display all the records for the application.

•Did you set private records to be hidden? Check Security Preferences to see that Private Records is set to Show private records.

•Open the Options menu and select Preferences. Make sure Show Completed Tasks is selected.

I don’t know how to save the info I entered in an application.

Each time you complete an entry such as a contact, memo, or note, your handheld automatically saves the information you entered. You don’t have to do anything special to save your info. To protect your info and create a backup of your info, we recommend that you synchronize your handheld with your computer often.
