Tips for getting good writing recognition
•
•
•
•
•
•
Write neatly.
Write on the line and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross
of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not
confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the
line.
For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools menu.
Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words
so that the device can easily tell where the words begin and end.
Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as
accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
If you add writing to a word or change it after the word has been
recognized, the writing that you added will be included when you try to
recognize the writing again.
Basics
15
Drawing on the screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen.
The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you
select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings
can be resized, while writing cannot.
To create a drawing:
1. Use the stylus to make a stroke that extends over three lines on the
screen. A drawing box appears around the stroke.
NOTE
If the drawing does not cross over three lines, the drawing
box does not appear.
2. Continue drawing. If your subsequent
strokes extend outside the box, you will
notice that the drawing box expands to
enclose all the strokes.
The drawing box indicates the
boundaries of the drawing
NOTE
To easily work on or view
your drawing, change the
zoom level by tapping
Menu > Zoom and
selecting your desired
zoom.
To edit your drawing:
1. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle
appears. To select multiple drawings, drag to select the drawings you
want.
2. Tap and hold the selected drawing, then tap an editing command on
the pop-up menu or tap a command on the Menu.
3. Resize the drawing by dragging a selection handle to your desired
size.

Chapter 2
Recording a message
In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also
quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a
message. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording
in the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a standalone
recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want to include the
recording in a note, open the note first. In the Inbox program, you can add
a recording to an e-mail message.
To create a recording:
1. Tap
> Programs > Notes > Menu > View Recording Toolbar.
2. Hold your device with the microphone near your mouth or other source
of sound.

desktop computer in order to be transferred.
NOTE
You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop
computer from a remote location. For more information on
connecting your device, see Chapter 7.
Connecting directly to an e-mail server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer,
you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail
server using a modem or network card connected to your device. You need
to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to
your e-mail server. For more information, see Chapter 7.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folders are sent,
46
Chapter 4
and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed
from the device Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to
your e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a
message on your device, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next
time you connect, based on the settings you selected in ActiveSync.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and
respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are
sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space in your device.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers
or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and decide
which messages to download completely. The next time you connect,
Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval
and sends the messages you have composed.
When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your desktop
computer, by default, you will receive messages from the last three days
only, and the mail is less than 0.5KB in size. If the mail size is larger than
0.5KB, you need to download it through hyperlink. The original messages
remain on the e-mail server or your desktop computer.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your
next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap
and hold the message that you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap
Download Message. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual
indications of message status.
You can specify your downloading preferences when you set up the
service or select your synchronization options. You can change them at
any time.

Managing e-mail messages and folders
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
•
•
•
•
50
If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
will automatically be synchronized with your device. The folders you
create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server.
If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you
created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and
their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail
server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox
and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having
duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no
longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from
anywhere except the device.
If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you
move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available
to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your
device or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs
whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or
rename/delete folders when connected.
