Selecting Text - Symbol PDT 8000 Series Product Reference Manual

A list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at the top
of the menu to return to the original writing.
Writing Tips
• Write neatly.
• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Cross of the "t" and write
apostrophes below the top line so 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.
• Leave large gaps between words so your terminal 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 is not included if you try to
recognize the writing again.

Selecting Text

To edit or format typed text, select it by dragging the stylus across the text. Cut, copy, and/
