Selecting a Range of Text by Dragging
You can select a range of text on the screen with a technique called dragging.
To select a range of text by dragging
1. Display the range of text you want to select.
2. Press the stylus against the screen at the beginning of the range of text
you want to select.
3. Keeping the stylus against the screen, drag it to the end of the range you
want to select.
•
If the end of the text is not on the screen, drag down to the bottom of the
display and the screen will start to scroll.
•
If you make a mistake and drag too far, keep the stylus on the screen as
you move back. This will reduce the size of the selected range of text.
4. Remove the stylus from the screen.
•
The selected text is highlighted on the screen.
•
To deselect (unhighlight) text, tap anywhere outside of the highlighted
area.
Cut, Copy, Paste
The cut, copy, and paste functions of the PV Unit operate just as they do on
a personal computer.
To cut or copy data
1. Drag the stylus across characters on the display that you want to cut or
copy.
•
The text you drag across will become highlighted on the display.
2. Tap the Menu Bar icon to display the menu bar, and then tap Edit –
Cut or Edit – Copy.
•
Edit – Cut deletes the selected text and places it onto a clipboard.
•
Edit – Copy puts a copy of the text onto the clipboard, while leaving the
original where it is.
