Working with Books
The pages of notes that you take are kept in books. There can be up to four books on
your PenCentra 130. To select the book you are working in go to the Tools menu and
select Options. From Options you can also delete a book, this will erase its contents,
or you can rename the book from the default name by just highlighting the name and
typing a new one.
Setting the Basic Options.
When working in QuickNotes there are some basic options that you can configure to
customize the look of your note taking interface.
Smoothing is a technique wherein the program will process the ink input so as to
make it appear smoother. This can be toggled on and off in the Options menu.
Having information Stamps displayed is a handy way to visually assess the contents
of a note page with a glance. Stamps can be turned on and off in the options menu.
At the bottom of every note page is the Status line telling you the time and date the
note was created, and which book it is in. The status line can be turned on or off in
the Options menu.
Ink Snap speed is the time period for which QuickNotes waits after you finish
writing and pick up your stylus. Once this time period is up QuickNotes will resize
the ink and put it in the correct position. Redraw Timing can also be changed here.
Grid lines will lay a square grid of lines on the screen as a reference when inking.
This can be very helpful when writing to keep ink objects uniform and aligned.
Text and Background Color can be set in the Options menu. You can choose one of
the predefined colors or create a custom color.
Putting Contact Information into Notes
To insert a reference to a contact into your Contact Database go to the Tools menu
and select Contact Database. The Contact Dialog box will appear, select a contact
from your list and press the OK button. The contact will appear at the bottom of the
note.
Using stamps with QuickNotes
