Using dialogs
A “dialog” appears when you need to make selections and enter
further information. You can move between dialog items by
tapping on them, or using the up and down arrow keys. Dialogs
contain one or more of the following elements:
Text box: where you just type in your information.
List box: where you select from a number of options. You will
see left and right arrows around the current selection; you can
change the selection by tapping on the arrows, by pressing the
left and right arrow keys, or by typing the first letter of the
option you want. You can usually tap in the box or press the Tab
key to see a list of the available options.
Check box: where you make a choice between selecting an
option or not selecting it. Just tap on the check box, or press the
left and right arrow keys to add or remove a tick.
Radio buttons: where you make one choice from a number of
options. Just tap on an option, or use the left and right arrow
keys to make a selection.
• If a dialog line is grey, it is currently not available, usually
because you have to select something else first. For
example, if you have not ticked the box to set an alarm for
an Agenda entry, the lines to set the alarm time and date are
grey. Some dialog lines only appear when another option has
been chosen.
Some dialogs comprise a number of “pages”, each page has a
“tab” at the top. Tap on the tab or move the highlight to the tab
name, to go to that page. You can also move a dialog around the
screen by holding the pen on the dialog title bar and dragging it
across the screen.
