Using Graffiti 2 ShortCuts
Graffiti 2 ShortCuts let you quickly and easily enter commonly used words or phrases. ShortCuts are similar to the Glossary or
Autotext features of some word processors. Graffiti 2 writing comes with several predefined ShortCuts. You can also create your
own, for any words, letters, or numbers.
You can create ShortCuts, with up to 45 characters, using the ShortCut preferences. For example, you could create a ShortCut
for your name or for the header of a memo. All ShortCuts you create appear on the list in the ShortCut Preferences screen, are
available in any of your handheld applications, and are backed up on your computer when you perform a HotSync
®
operation.
Your handheld includes the following predefined Graffiti 2 ShortCuts for common entries:
• ds—Date stamp
• ts—Time stamp
• dts—Date/time stamp
• me—Meeting
• br—Breakfast
• lu—Lunch
• di—Dinner
To use a ShortCut, draw the ShortCut stroke followed by the ShortCut character or characters. When you draw the ShortCut
stroke, the ShortCut symbol appears at the insertion point.
