Psion Teklogix 32M/64M, netBook manual Finding & replacing text, Changing the appearance of text

When text reaches the right-hand side of the screen, it automatically “wraps” the text onto the next line. If you want to view your page as it will be printed (“WYSIWYG”), switch off word-wrapping by removing the tick from the command on the View menu.

As you might expect, you can apply many commands to sections of text by highlighting them first. To highlight text, drag the pen over it or hold down Shift and use the arrow keys. To select all text in the file, use the command on the Edit menu. The Cut, Copy and Paste commands can be accessed from the Edit

menu or the Clipboard button on the Toolbar.

∙To remove text: highlight the text and press Delete or select the Cut command. If you accidentally delete a section of text, you can replace it by selecting the Undo delete command from the Edit menu.

∙To copy text without deleting the original: highlight it and select the Copy command from the Edit menu. To insert copied text, place the cursor where you want the text to appear and select the Paste command from the Edit menu.

∙To move a section of text: highlight it and select the Cut command from the Edit menu. Place the cursor where you want the text to appear, then select the Paste command.

∙You can make the text appear larger or smaller on the screen by selecting the Zoom in and Zoom out commands from the View menu. You can also select the Set zoom command to set a “custom” zoom level. Note that zooming does not affect printing.

Finding & replacing text

You can search through an entire file for a particular word or phrase and, if you wish, replace it with a different one.

∙To find text: tap the Find button on the Toolbar or select the command from the Edit menu and type in the text that you want to find. You can search “down” or “up” through a file - down searches from the current position to the end of the file, and up searches backwards to the beginning of the file. While searching, you can match the whole word, or make the search case sensitive.

∙To find and then replace text: select the Replace command from the Edit menu. Type the text that you want to find, as before, and the text that you want to replace it with. You can replace a single occurrence of the chosen text, or all occurrences from this point onwards.

Changing the appearance of text

You can highlight text then apply formatting to it, or select a format to use and then start typing:

∙Press the button for bold text, for italics or for underlined text (or use the commands on the Text menu).

∙Press the button again, or remove the tick from the menu command to remove the effect, or switch it off.

∙Use the button on the Top toolbar (e.g. ) to choose from a list of available fonts. Note that the text that appears on the button will reflect the current font. Use the

size button (e.g. ) to change the size of text.

You can apply any of these effects, and also set the text position (e.g. for superscript and subscript text), use strikethrough text (crossed out), and change the text colour using the Font command on the Text menu.
