Writing on the Screen
In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program and the Notes tab in Calendar,
Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do
on paper. You can edit and format what you’ve written and convert the information to text at a
later time.
To write on the screen
Tap the Pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you
write.
Tap the Pen button and use
your stylus like a pen.
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 Edit 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 tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on
the Edit menu.
