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 Tools, then Undo and try again.
You can also select text by tapping the Pen button 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 command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu.
To convert writing to text:
•
Tap Tools and then Recognize.
If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then
tap Recognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left
as writing.
Select the text you want to convert
and tap Recognize on the pop-up menu.

Or, tap the word you want to use.
Tips for getting good recognition:
•
Write neatly.
•
Write on the lines 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 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 to change it (such as changing a “3” to an
“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will
not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
2-29
Toshiba Pocket PC e740 User’s Guide
Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen.

select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings
can be resized, while writing cannot.
To create a drawing:
•
Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears.
Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the
drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as
writing.
The drawing box indicates the
boundaries of the drawing.
You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily
work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then a zoom level.

Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft® ActiveSync® ,you can synchronize the information on
your desktop computer with the information on your device. Synchronization compares the data on your device with your desktop computer and
updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:
•
Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device
with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.
•
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
device and desktop computer.
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on
and off for specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
•
Back up and restore your device data.
•
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop
computer.
•
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected
to your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize
command.
•
Select which information types are synchronized and control how much
data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks
of past appointments you want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop computer from the Toshiba Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information
on installing ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already
installed on your device.
Toshiba Pocket PC e740 User’s Guide
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your device to your desktop computer, set up a partnership so you
can synchronize information between your device and your desktop computer, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and
Tasks on your device. You’ll notice that information you’ve stored in Microsoft
Outlook on your desktop computer has been copied to your device, and
you didn’t have to type a word. Disconnect your device from your computer
and you’re ready to go!

Microsoft Pocket Outlook
Microsoft® Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and
Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example,
e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail messages in Inbox.
Using ActiveSync® you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook
or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop computer with your device. You
can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange
server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you
made on your device and desktop computer or server and updates both
computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync,
see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.
You can switch to any of these programs by tapping them on the

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:
•
Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft
Outlook on your desktop computer.
•
Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail
server through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a network.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync.
For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help
on the desktop computer.
During synchronization:
•
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on
your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By default, you will receive messages from the past three days
only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments of less
than 100 KB in size.
•
E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred
to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.
•
E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on
your desktop computer in order to be transferred.
You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop computer from a remote location. For more information, see Chapter 7.
4-14
Chapter 4: Microsoft Pocket Outlook
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’ll
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 folder are sent,
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 on your device.
When working offline, once you’ve downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then
decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you’ve marked for retrieval
and sends the messages you’ve composed.

the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than
100 KB in size. 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 you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Mark

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service
you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items.
The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on
the device. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends
on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then
Options. On the Message tab, select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and
then Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to
another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap
Move to on the pop-up menu.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
•
If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
will automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select to
synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The
folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored
on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox
folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for
synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and
copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages
while away from your desktop computer.
•
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.

Getting Connected
You can use your device to exchange information with other mobile devices as well as your desktop computer, a network, or the Internet. You
have the following connection options:
•
Use the infrared (IR) port on your device to send and receive files
between two devices. If this is the method you want to use, see the
following section “Transfer Items Using Infrared.”
•
Connect to your Internet service provider (ISP). Once connected, you
can send and receive e-mail messages by using Inbox and view Web
or WAP pages by using Microsoft® Pocket Internet Explorer. The communication software for creating an ISP connection is already installed
on your device. Your service provider will provide software needed to
install other services, such as paging and fax services. If this is the
method you want to use, see “Connect to an Internet Service Provider” later in this chapter.
•
Connect to the network at your company or organization where you
work. Once connected, you can send and receive e-mail messages by
using Inbox, view Web or WAP pages by using Pocket Internet Explorer, and synchronize with your desktop computer. If this is the method
you want to use, see “Connect to Work” later in this chapter.
•
Connect to your desktop computer to synchronize remotely. Once connected, you can synchronize information such as your Pocket Outlook
information. If this is the method you want to use, see ActiveSync Help
on your desktop computer or Connections Help on the device.

Connect to the Internet
You can connect to your ISP, and use the connection to send and receive
e-mail messages and view Web or WAP pages.
You can connect to work in one of two ways:
•
Create a modem connection. If this is the method you want to use, see
“To create a modem connection to an ISP.”
•
Use an Ethernet card and a net tap to connect to the network. If this is
the method you want to use, see “To create an Ethernet connection to
an ISP.”
To create a modem connection to an ISP:
1.
Obtain the following information from your ISP: ISP dial-up access telephone number, user name, password, and TCP/IP settings. Some ISPs
require information in front of the user name, such as MSN/username.
2.
If your device does not have a built-in modem, install a modem card,
or use or use a NULL modem cable and appropriate adapters to connect an external modem to your device through the serial port.
3.
Tap
and then Settings. In the Connections tab, tap Connections.
Under The Internet settings, select Internet Settings and tap Modify.
4.
In the Modem tab, tap New.
5.
Enter a name for the connection, such as “ISP Connection.”
6.
In the Select a modem list, select your modem type. If your modem
type does not appear, try reinserting the modem card. If you are using
an external modem that is connected to your device with a cable, select Hayes Compatible on COM1.
7.
You should not need to change any settings in Advanced. Most ISPs
now use a dynamically-assigned address. If the ISP you are connecting to does not use a dynamically-assigned address, tap Advanced
and then the TCP/IP tab, and enter the address. When finished, tap
OK and then Next.

10. In the Dialing Locations tab, specify your current location and phone
type (most phone lines are tone). These settings will apply to all connections you create.
To start the connection, simply start using one of the following programs.
Your device will automatically begin connecting. Once connected, you can:
•
Send and receive e-mail messages by using Inbox. Before you can
use Inbox, you need to provide the information it needs to communicate with the e-mail server. For specific instructions, see “Connect
Directly to an E-mail Server,” later in this chapter.
•
Visit Web and WAP pages by using Pocket Internet Explorer. For more
information, see Chapter 6.
•
Send and receive instant messages with MSN Messenger. For more
information, see “MSN Messenger” in Chapter 5.
To create an Ethernet connection to an ISP:
1.
You do not need to create a new connection on your device. Instead,
you must purchase and configure an Ethernet card that is compatible
with your device.
2.
Obtain the following information from your ISP: user name, password,
and domain name.
3.
Insert the Ethernet card into your device. For instructions on inserting
and using the Ethernet card, see the owner’s manual for the card.
4.
The first time you insert the card, Network Settings will appear automatically so that you can configure the Ethernet card. Most networks
use DHCP, so you should not have to change these settings unless
your network administrator instructs you to do so. Tap OK. (If it does
not appear or to change settings later, tap
and then Settings. In
the Connections tab, tap Network, tap the adapter you want to
change, and then tap Properties.)
5.
Connect the Ethernet card to the network by using a network cable.
For information, see your owner's manual.
6.
Tap
, Settings, Connections tab, and then Connections. From
the My network card connects to list, select Internet.
To start the connection, simply start using one of the programs listed in the
preceding section. Once connected, you can perform the same activities
as listed in the preceding section.
