5.Press ENTER to store the changes when you are finished.

The new, edited entry is now stored, replacing the original entry.

Editing Techniques

This section explains all the general editing techniques used in Edit mode when making a new entry or editing an existing entry in all of the applications. (The Memo application has many additional features for working with text; see p.103 for more information.)

Fields

Most applications divide the display into field boxes. The number of fields in each application varies, as do the types of fields. The different types of field include text fields, a date field, time fields and pop-up fields. There are also a few special types of text fields. In the Tel and User File applications, you can define the number and names of fields according to your preferences (see p.100).

You can type any character into a text field. The size of a text field is limited only by the size of the entry. Text fields adjust their size automatically to accommodate the number of lines entered.

Only a date can be entered in a date field, usually in the format MM/DD/YYYY. For example, you would type 06231996 to enter June 23, 1996.

Only a time of day can be entered in the time field, in the format of HH:MM followed by AM or PM (for AM and PM). For example, to enter 9:00 AM, you would type 0900 then press AM .
