To select writing
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
and try again. You can
also select text by tapping the
Pen
button to deselect it and then dragging the stylus
across the screen.
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 choose an editing command on the pop-up menu,
or choose the command on the
Edit
menu.
Tips for getting good recognition
•
Write neatly.
•
Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the “t”
and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word
above. Write periods and commas above the line.
•
For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools
menu.
•
Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the
Pocket PC can easily tell where words begin and end.
•
Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and
some 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 to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you
attempt to recognize the writing again.
