Indenting and using tabs

You can indent a paragraph after it’s written. (Make sure

you’ve selected “Insert new words at caret” in the Text

Editing Settings within the Handwriting Recognition slip.

(See the section “Setting Your Handwriting Preferences”

earlier in this chapter.) Tap the pen at the beginning of the

sentence. The caret appears. Tap the Keyboard button _

(make sure the Typewriter keyboard is selected), then tap

the tab key on the keyboard.

Using the word list

When you write text or convert ink text, the MessagePad

recognizes the words by comparing the words you write to

the word list in the MessagePad. The MessagePad can

recognize words more easily if they are in its word list.

Words in the word list cannot exceed 30 characters.

To see your personal word list, follow these steps:

1 Tap the Keyboard button _.

The keyboard appears. (If the Typewriter keyboard is not

shown, tap the Keyboard button again and in the list that

appears, tap Typewriter.)

Writing and Drawing

6 You can make the following choices:

m Font—Choose Fancy, Simple, or Casual (only applicable to

Text)

m Size—Choose 9, 10, 12, or 18 point size (only for Text and

Ink Text)

m Style—Choose Plain, Bold, or Underline

m Pen—Choose a pen width of 1, 2, 3, or 4 point size

7 When you are finished making your selections, tap X to close

the slip.

Changing paragraph margins

1 Select the paragraph by drawing a selection box around it.

Hold down the pen near the item until a heavy mark appears

under the pen (the MessagePad makes a squeak), and draw

the mark over or around the paragraph.

Note: Selecting text by drawing a line through it does not

create a selection box. You must select by drawing around

the paragraph.

2 Hold the pen on the left or right edge of the box and move it.
