Keys To Success With Graffiti 2 Writing - Palm 1047ML User Manual

CHAPTER 4
Did You Know?
Graffiti 2 characters made
with two strokes are
recognized after the
second stroke. Make the
second stroke quickly
after the first so that the
correct character is
recognized.
Did You Know?
Write uppercase letters
the same way you write
lowercase ones. The only
difference is where you
write them.
Tip
Your handheld has tables
displaying all of the
Graffiti 2 characters, short
cuts, and commands.
Customize your handheld
so you can display these
tables by drawing a line
from the bottom of the
screen to the top.

Keys to success with Graffiti 2 writing

Keep these guidelines in mind when using Graffiti 2 writing:
• Write the characters exactly as shown in the following tables. Don't write the dot. It's only there
to show you where to begin writing the character.
• The Graffiti 2 writing area, whether the input area or the full screen, has two sections. Write
lowercase letters on the left, numbers on the right, and capital letters across the middle.
• Write at a natural speed, and do not write on a slant.
• Press firmly.
• Write large characters.
If you're already familiar with Graffiti writing from an older Palm Powered™ handheld, Graffiti 2
writing will be easy to master. Characters are entered in exactly the same way, except for i, t, k,
and the number 4. These letters are now made with two strokes, just the way you would write
them if you were using a pen and paper.
Also, you no longer have to use the Punctuation Shift stroke for common punctuation like periods
and commas or for @. Just write these characters on the correct side of the input area and your
handheld immediately recognizes them.
