Writing capital letters

You make capital letters with the same stroke shapes as the basic alphabet characters. To make

capital letters, you must first “shift” to caps — just as you press the Shift key on a keyboard — and

then write the character strokes.

Note: Graffiti writing includes a feature that automatically capitalizes the first letter when you

create a new sentence or a new record (by tapping New or a blank line).

To draw the first letter of a word as a capital letter:

■ Use the Caps Shift stroke:

Tip: When Caps Shift is active, an “up arrow” symbol appears in the lower-right corner of the

communicator screen. If you accidentally activate Caps Shift, backspace will cancel it.

To enter only capital letters (Caps Lock):

■ Use the Caps Lock stroke:

Tip: When Caps Lock is active, an underlined “up arrow” symbol appears in the lower-right

corner of the communicator screen. To return to lowercase, make the Caps Shift stroke.

Writing numbers

Writing numbers with Graffiti writing is similar to writing letters of the alphabet, except that you

make the character strokes on the right-hand side (numbers side) of the Graffiti writing area.
