Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen button.
See the documentation for that program to find out how to switch
to writing mode.
To select writing:
If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first.
1. Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the insertion point appears.
2. Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.
If you accidentally write on the screen, tap
Tools
and then
Undo

You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed text: tap and hold
the selected words and then tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on
the
Edit
menu.

•

punctuation cannot be converted.
•
If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) after you attempt

the writing again.
Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen 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
