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 Graffiti 2 writing 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 OS handheld, 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, commas, or @. Just write these characters on the correct side of the input area and your handheld immediately recognizes them.
