Writing in Graffiti 2 input areas
You can write Graffiti 2 characters in the designated input area, or you can turn on
Writing Area and write outside the input area. See
“Locating front panel controls”
for the location of the input area.
Using Writing Area
When Writing AreaPreferences are turned on and active, the full screen is available
for Graffiti 2 writing; you do not have to write in the input area. When Writing
AreaPreferences are turned off or inactive, you must write character strokes in the
active input area for your handheld to recognize them.
To use the full-screen writing area:
1.
Turn on Writing Area Preferences. See
for details.
2.
Open the application in which you want to use the full-screen writing area.
A shaded box appears in the lower-right corner of the screen.
3.
Position the cursor where you want the characters to appear.
4.
Do any of the following:
– Write lowercase Graffiti 2 letters anywhere on the left side of the screen.
– Write numbers anywhere on the right side of the screen.
– Write uppercase letters in the middle of the screen.
– Write the Shift stroke before writing symbols and other special characters.
– Access buttons and other controls that appear on the screen by tapping and
holding the button or control until it activates.
To temporarily disable the full-screen writing area:
■
Tap the shaded box in the lower-right corner.
The shaded box changes to a box outline and Writing Area Preferences are
deactivated.
NOTE
For a brief period of time after writing a character, a quick tap on the screen is
interpreted as a period character. This makes is easier to tap buttons and place the
cursor without having the action interpreted as a period character.
