Entering Freehand Numbers

If you're entering a long series of numbers, it's a good idea to press the NUM button in the
Edit toolbar to enhance number recognition. While the on-screen keyboard will normally
recognize numbers, its ability to recognize numbers is greatly enhanced when you press this
button.
NOTE: Don't forget to press the NUM button again when you're finished, as letter recognition
is relatively poor when the NUM button is depressed.
To enhance number recognition:
1 Press the NUM button in the Edit toolbar.
2 Enter numbers in the Writing Recognition Area. Avoid entering letters, as these are not
recognized as readily as numbers.
3 When you've finished entering numbers and want to switch to letters, press the NUM
button again to return to letter recognition.
