Adding punctuation

Sometimes punctuation marks can be misinterpreted by

your MessagePad. You can quickly add punctuation marks by

using the caret or the on-screen keyboard.

To add punctuation marks using the caret:

1 Tap the pen where you want the punctuation mark to

appear. A caret appears.

2 Tap the caret.

In the slip that appears, tap the punctuation mark you want.

The punctuation mark you selected is placed at the caret.

You can also use the punctuation slip to add carriage returns

and spaces to phrases and to delete characters.

Formatting text and drawings

Inserting space in text and joining words

To insert space in text, draw carets and lines as shown. The

top of the caret should line up with the baseline of the

letters. Draw the caret in one stroke; do not use a separate

stroke for each side of the caret.

It’s best if you aim the tip of the pen at the baseline. If you

are joining words, the top of the caret should be at the

baseline.

Inserts space for a single letter

Joins two words

Inserts space for a word (the longer the

line, the bigger the space)

Inserts space for a single line

Inserts space for several lines (the longer

the vertical line, the bigger the space)

Breaks the line and inserts space for

several lines

Another way to insert a space in text is to use the built-in

caret. Tap the caret where you want to add a space or a

carriage return.
