This chapter explains the features of the Notebook application, the unit’s built-in word processor, and the Outline application, a simple but powerful outliner for structuring your thoughts, ideas, and writings. Used together, first outlining a document and then developing it in the Notebook, these two applications provide powerful word processing capabilities in a hand-held device.
Page 141: The Notebook Application
The Notebook Application The unit’s Notebook application provides you with a simple yet powerful means of recording information, from notes at a meeting and letters to passages of a speech. As with a standard word processor, the Notebook lets you set margins, tabs and indents, select A4, letter, or legal page size, turn word wrap on or off, and change fonts.
