Common tasks
The tasks described in this section use the term “records” to refer to an individual
item in any of the applications: a single Date Book event, Address Book entry,
To Do List item, Note Pad note, Memo Pad memo, or Expense item.
Creating records
You can use the following procedure to create a new record in Date Book,
Address Book, To Do List, Note Pad, Memo Pad, and Expense.
To create a record:
1.
Select the application in which you want to create a record.
2.
Tap New.
3.
In Date Book only: Select start and end times for your appointment and tap OK.
4.
Enter text for the record.
5.
(Optional) To select attributes for the record:
– In Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad, tap Details.
– In Note Pad, tap the Menu icon
, and then tap Options and Details.
6.
In Address Book, Note Pad, and Memo Pad only: Tap Done.
There’s no need to save the record because your handheld saves it automatically.
Editing records
After you create a record, you can change, delete, or enter new text at any time.
Two screen features tell you when your handheld is in editing mode:
■
A blinking cursor
■
One or more dotted edit lines
NOTE
In Note Pad you can write anywhere on the screen. So, you will not see an edit
line or blinking cursor.
