Moving the Cursor
If you want to add text somewhere other than where the cursor is, use the arrow keys to
move the cursor. Hold SHIFT as you press the UP or DOWN arrow keys to move a page at a
time. SHIFT with the LEFT and RIGHT arrows 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 past
the last characters on the screen, press NEW LINE/OK to create blank lines. The cursor moves
down as you add lines. If you want to type past the last character in a line, position the cursor at
the end of the line and type.
Editing the Text
To insert text, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the desired location and type. New
characters are added at the cursor's location.
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 text, then insert.
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 title styles) using the
menu keys at the top of the keyboard.
To do this, position the cursor any-
where in the line you wish to change
and press the appropriate menu key.
For instance, press the LETTER COLOR
button (in the top row). A menu of
colors appears.
This menu has two sub-menus — one
at the top of the screen ( ) and one at
the bottom ( ). Each sub-menu con-
tains choices you can use to change your titles. The MARK START button is used to choose
which sub-menu is active. In this example, the bottom sub-menu is active — if you wanted
to use the top sub-menu instead, you would press MARK START.
One item in the active menu is highlighted. In this example, a color choice is highlighted by
the triangular pointers ( ).
Use the arrow keys to move the highlight to a different color. The sample patch ( ) shows
the selected color. Press NEW LINE/OK or PLAY to choose the color you have highlighted.
NEW LINE/OK returns you to the editing screen; PLAY plays the resulting page.
The characters in the line that contained the cursor change to the selected color.
