Finding information
Your handheld offers several ways for you to find information quickly:
■All applications that reside on your handheld: Find locates any text that you 
specify, always starting with the current application. However, Find does not 
search through applications on expansion cards.
■Date Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, SMS: Phone Lookup displays the Address list 
screen and enables you to add to a record the information that appears in 
this list.
■Address Book: The Look Up line enables you to scroll immediately to a name 
when you enter the first letters of that name. For more information, see 
“Looking up Address Book records” next.
You can also use Quick Connect and Tap-to-Connect in Address Book to dial a 
phone number listed in an Address Book record or to create an e-mail message 
addressed to an Address Book contact. For more information, see“Making 
connections from Address Book” in Chapter 5.
■Expense: Lookup displays the names in your Address Book that have data in the 
Company field. You can add these names to a list of attendees associated with 
an Expense record.

If there is only one possible match for a particular position, the highlight jumps 
to the next position.
4.Press Up or Down on the navigator to select the next letter of the name you want 
to find.
The list then scrolls to the first entry that starts with those two letters. For 
example, selecting s scrolls to “Sands,” and selecting sm scrolls further to 
“Smith.” If you sort the list by company name, the Quick Look Up feature 
scrolls to the matches for the company name.
5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the entry you want appears in the list.

Using Graffiti 2 commands with Phone Lookup
Write the Graffiti 2 Command stroke “/L” to activate the Phone Lookup feature. 
You can also activate it in the following circumstances:

someone with the last name Williams, write the Graffiti 2 characters for Wi and 
then the Phone Lookup Command stroke “/L.”
If you have only one Address Book record that begins with Wi, your handheld 
inserts the full name, such as Fred Williams (and its associated information). If 
you have more than one name that begins with Wi, the Phone Lookup screen 
appears and highlights the first record that begins with Wi.

Command stroke “/L.” Your handheld replaces the selected text and adds the 
name and its associated information.
