2 Double-tap in the selection.

Your MessagePad places an arrow on each word as it is

recognized and then converts the entire phrase. If words are

misinterpreted, you can use the correction techniques

described earlier in this chapter.

Using the caret ^

You can insert a word or phrase at a specific place on the

screen using the caret. If you choose to enter text without a

caret, the text is placed in the general area where you wrote.

To use the caret, follow these steps:

1 Tap the Recognition button Ú and in the list that appears,

tap Preferences π.

2 Tap Options and in the list that appears, tap Text Editing

Settings.

3 Tap the checkbox next to “Insert new words at caret.”

4 Go back to the item where you want to insert text.

5 Tap the pen where you want the word(s) to go on the

screen.

A caret appears where the words will be placed.

Writing and Drawing

To select groups of text or drawings, circle them with the

highlighting mark. The MessagePad puts a box around the

things you select.

To deselect an item, tap the pen anywhere outside the

selection.

Converting your handwriting to text

If you wrote something using the Ink Text or Sketches

recognition setting, you can convert the ink text to text at

any time.

m To convert a single word, double-tap on it. An arrow appears

as it is converted.

m To convert more than one word, follow these steps:

1 Select the words or phrases you want to convert to text.

Hold down the pen near the item until a heavy mark appears

under the pen (the MessagePad makes a squeak), and draw

the mark over or around the items.

Your writing is surrounded by a black box.
