Using the onscreen keyboard
You can open the onscreen keyboard anytime you need to enter text
or numbers on your companion. Note that you cannot enter Graffiti
characters while using the onscreen keyboard.
To use the onscreen keyboard:
1. Open any application (such as Memo Pad).
2. Tap any record, or tap New.
3. Tap “abc” to open the alphabetic keyboard, or tap “123” to open
the numeric keyboard.
4. Tap the characters to enter text and numbers.
Note: The onscreen keyboard also includes a dialog box for
international characters. You can switch among the three
dialogs at any time to enter the exact text you need.
5. After you finish, tap Done to close the onscreen keyboard and
place the text in the record.
Using your computer keyboard
If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer
keyboard, you can use Palm™ Desktop for IBM WorkPad, or any
supported PIM, to enter information. You can then perform a
HotSync
®
operation to synchronize the information on your computer
with the information on your companion. All the main applications on
your companion are also available in Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad
and in most PIMs, so you do not need to learn different applications.
Refer to the online Help for more information on entering data on
your computer.
