Selecting the Display Modes

Once an application is open, you can switch between three basic display modes: Index, View and Edit. Each display mode has its own unique appearance and particular purpose. Index mode is normally the default view when an application is opened, and provides a summary of the individual entries that have been created. Pressing [ENTER] after selecting a particular entry causes the entry to be displayed in View mode, which shows the full details of the entry. During View mode, the word VIEW appears at the top of the screen, and no entry details may be altered.

Pressing [EDITJ, either when an entry is displayed in View mode or is selected in Index Mode, causes the entry to be displayed in Edit mode. The entry’s details can then be altered as desired. During Edit mode, the word EDIT appears at the top of the screen. Edit mode is also used when an entry is being created (by pressing [NEW]).

*The Calc (except Conversion function) and Clock applications do not have Index, View or Edit modes.
