Moving the Cursor
If you want to add text somewhere other than where the
cursor is, use the arrow keys to move the cursor. Press PAGE
UP or PAGE DOWN to move a page at a time or you can
hold SHIFT as you press the UP or DOWN arrow keys.
SHIFT with the LEFT or RIGHT arrow key moves the cursor
to the start or end of the line.
Note: You cannot move the cursor past the end of the last
line of text. If you want to type beyond the last characters on
the screen, position the cursor at the end of the line and
press NEW LINE/OK to create blank lines.
Editing Text
To insert text, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the
desired location and type. To delete text, position the cursor
after the characters you want to remove and press DELETE.
The character before the cursor is removed. To delete large
blocks of text at once, mark the text and press delete.
To replace text, delete the existing text, then type the new
text.
Oops!
If you accidentally delete something, immediately press
UNDO. It restores the text that was deleted by the last press
of the DELETE key.
Using Menus to Change Colors, Fonts, etc.
You can change characteristics (such as fonts, colors and font
styles) using the menu keys at the top of the keyboard.
Changes are made between MARK START and MARK END
brackets (Use undo to clear the brackets). For instance, press
the LETTER COLOR key (in the top row). A menu of colors
appears. This menu has two sub-menus — one at the top of
the screen (1) and one at the bottom (4). Each sub-menu
contains choices you can use to change your titles. Use the
left or right bracket ( [, ] ) to choose which sub-menu is
active. In this example, the bottom sub-menu is active (Tab,
MARK START and MARK END also work). If you wanted
to use the top sub-menu instead, you would press any of the
previously mentioned keys. One item in the active menu is
highlighted. In this example, a color choice is highlighted by
the triangular pointers (3). Use the arrow keys to move the
highlight to a different color. The sample patch (2) shows the
