Writing on the Screen
In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, and in 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 have written and convert the information to text at a 
later time. Tap the Pen icon to switch to writing mode. This action displays 
lines on the screen to help you write
Selecting the 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 Menu > Undo and try again. 
You can also select text by tapping the Pen icon 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 com-
mand on the pop-up menu, or tap the command under Menu.
Converting Writing to Text
You can convert words you write in print or cursive to text by tapping 
Menu > Tools > Recognize. If a word is not recognized, it stays in its origi-
nal form.
If you want to convert only certain words, tap Pen to disable the writing 
function, tap twice over the word or phrase to highlight, then tap Menu > 
Tools > Recognize.
Note: Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen icon. See 
the documentation for that program to find out how to switch to writing 
mode.
