How do I display a calendar?

In most dialogs in which you can type a date, move to the date line then tap again or press Tab to display a calendar.

Today’s date is circled, and the date currently displayed in the dialog is highlighted. To select another date, move to the date you want and press Enter. Use the buttons on the top line, or further presses of the Tab key, to display a three month or twelve month calendar. Use the “dog ears” to move between the pages of the calendar.

You can also display a calendar from the Agenda program. See the ‘Agenda’ chapter for more details.

Dialog buttons

Dialogs may have on-screen buttons. Tap on the button or use the keypress combination under it. Some buttons have a standard keypress equivalent:

∙Usually, you can tap the OK button or press the Enter key if you want to save information and remove the dialog.

∙Tap the Cancel button or press the Esc key if you want to remove the dialog without saving the information.

∙For dialogs that ask a question, you can tap the Yes button or press the ‘Y’ key for ‘yes’; tap the No button, press the ‘N’ key or press the Esc key for ‘no’.

Copying information between programs

You can insert information created in one program into a different program. This is known as “inserting” an “object”.

For example, you may want to add a picture to a letter you are writing. To do this, write the letter as normal using the Word program. Then while in Word, tap the Insert sketch button on the Toolbar or select the command from the Insert menu. This will start the Sketch program, where you can create the picture. Close Sketch when you have finished and the picture will be inserted in your letter.

Sometimes the object you insert can be displayed as an icon, perhaps if you insert a large amount of Word text in an Agenda entry. Alternatively, you may prefer to see the actual information added, e.g. a map to view in the Word file.

For example, you may wish to:

∙insert tables of figures and graphs from Sheet into a Word file. You can add labels and titles to the graph in Sheet before inserting it in the Word file.

∙keep a map of how to find a restaurant as a sketch, perhaps attached to an Agenda entry for the day that you’re going there.

∙create a Sketch file of your signature, and insert the signature when you write letters in the Word processor.

∙keep handwritten notes and ideas in Sketch. You can then insert them into Jotter or a Word file if necessary.
