    pop-up menu in the contact list to quickly delete a contact, make a copy of a contact, or send an e-
    mail message to a contact. The actions in the pop-up menus vary from program to program. To

    Writing on the Screen

    on paper. You can edit and format what you’ve written and convert the information to text at a
    later time.

    write.

    your stylus like a pen.

    Tips for getting good recognition
    •Write neatly.
    •Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the “t” and
    apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word above. Write periods
    and commas above the line.
    •For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.
    •Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the Pocket PC can
    easily tell where words begin and end.
    •Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some
    punctuation cannot be converted.
    •If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) after you attempt to
    recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to recognize the
    writing again.
    Drawing on the Screen
    You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference between
    writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited. For
    example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.
    To create a drawing
    Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent strokes in or
    touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled
    lines will be treated as writing.
    The drawing box indicates
    the boundaries of the drawing.
    Pen button.
    You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view your
    drawing. Tap Tools and then select a zoom level.

    To select a drawing
    If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first.
    •Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple
    drawings, deselect the Pen button and then drag to select the drawings you want.
    You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected drawing and
    then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit
    menu. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected, and drag a selection handle.
    Recording a Message
    In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly capture thoughts,
    reminders, and phone numbers by recording a message. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can
    include a recording in the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a stand-alone
    recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want to include the recording in a note,
    open the note first.  In the Inbox program, you can add a recording to an e-mail message.
    To create a recording
    1. Hold your Pocket PC’s microphone near your mouth or other source of sound.
    2. Press and hold the Record hardware button on your Pocket PC until you hear a beep.
    3. While holding down the Record button, make your recording.
    4. To stop recording, release the Record button. Two beeps will sound. The new recording
