Getting started
Writing on the screen
In any program that accepts writing, such as
Notes, and in the Notes tab in Calendar,
Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your
stylus to write directly on the screen. Write
as you would on paper. You can edit and
format what you have written and convert
information into typed text at a later time.
Tap the pen button to switch to writing mode.
This action displays lines on the screen to
help you write. Some programs that accept
writing may not have the pen button. See the
manual for each particular program to find
out how to switch to writing mode.
Tips for good recognition:
1. Write clearly.
2. Write on the lines and draw descanters
below the line. Write the cross of the “t”
and apostrophes below the top line so
that they are not confused with the word
above. Write periods and commas above
the bottom line.
3. For better recognition, use a zoom level
of 150% or higher by tapping Start >
Settings > Input > Options tab to
change the default zoom levels.
4. Write the letters of a word close together
and leave big gaps between words so
that the device can easily tell where
words begin and end.
5. Hyphenated words, foreign words that
use special characters, such as accents,
and some punctuation, cannot be
converted. If you edit or add to a word
after attempting recognition, the new
writing will not be included if you attempt
recognition again.
Drawing on the screen
You can draw on it in the same way that
you write on the screen. The difference
between writing and drawing on the screen
is how you select items and how they can be
edited. For example, selected drawings can
be resized, while writing cannot.
To create a drawing:
Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke.
A drawing box appears. Subsequent strokes
in or touching the drawing box become part
of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross
three ruled lines will be treated as writing.
