Navigation Bar and Command Bar 
 
 
  
• 
The navigation bar is located at the top of the screen. It 
displays the active program and current time, and allows you 
to switch to programs and close screens.  
• Use the command bar at the bottom of the screen to perform 
tasks in programs. The command bar includes menu names, 
buttons, and the Input Panel button. To create a new item in 
the current program, tap New. To see the name of a button, 
tap and hold the stylus on the button. Drag the stylus off the 
button so that the command is not carried out. 
Pop-up Menus 
  
• With pop-up menus, you can quickly choose an action 
for an item. For example, you can use the 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 access a pop-up menu, tap and 
hold the stylus on the item name that you want to 
perform the action on. When the menu appears, lift the 
stylus and tap the action you want to perform. Or tap 
anywhere outside the menu to close the menu without 
performing an action.

you have set up an appointment in Calendar, a task with a due date in Tasks, or an alarm in Clock, you will be notified in any of 
the following ways: 
• A message box appears on the screen.  
						

							Page 22

Entering Information on Your Pocket PC Phone 
You have several options for entering new information:

• Write directly on the screen. 
• 
Draw pictures on the screen. 
 
• 
Speak into your Pocket PC Phone microphone to record a message.  
 
• Use Microsoft ActiveSync to synchronize or copy information from your PC to your Pocket PC Phone.  For more 
information on ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop PC. 
Entering Text Using the Input Panel  
  
• 
Use the input panel to enter information in any program on 
your Pocket PC Phone. You can either type using the soft 
keyboard or write using Letter Recognizer, Block

choices. 
 
 
 
  
• When you use the input panel, your Pocket PC Phone 
anticipates the word you are typing or writing and displays it 
above the input panel. When you tap the displayed word, it is 
inserted into your text at the insertion point. The more you 
use your Pocket PC Phone, the more words it learns to 
anticipate.

additional information.  You can also use your stylus to make an insert.  After you have made an insert, you can use any of the 
input methods described above to add additional text at the insertion point. 
Writing on the Screen 
In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, and in the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can 
use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format what you have written and 
convert the information to text at a later time. 
To write on the screen

 Pen
 
button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on 
the screen to help you write.

program to find out how to switch to writing mode. 
To select writing 
  
If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first. 
 
1.  Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the insertion 
point appears. 
 
2.  Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select. 
 
If you accidentally write on the screen, tap 
Tools, then 
Undo and try again. You 
can also select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it and then dragging the 
stylus across the screen. 
You can cut, copy and paste written text in the same way you work with typed 
text: tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command on the 
pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu. 
To convert writing to text 
  
1. Tap Tools and then Recognize. 
 
2.  If you want to convert only certain words, select them 
before tapping Recognize on the Tools menu (or tap and 
hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the 
pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as 
writing. 
 
3.  If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different 
words from a list of alternates or return to the original 
writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one 
word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A 
menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word 
you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to

Tips for getting good recognition 
1. Write neatly. 
2.  Write on the lines and draw the end of lowercase letters 
(y
 , g , p) 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. 
3.  For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 
300% using the Tools menu. 
4.  Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps 
between words so that the Pocket PC Phone can easily tell  
						

							Page 28 
where words begin and end. 
5.  Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special 
characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot 
be converted. 
6.  If you change a word or number (such as changing a “3” to 
an “8”) after you attempt to recognize it, 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.

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. 
 You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work 
on or view your drawing. Tap To o l s and then a zoom level.

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 Phone’s microphone near your mouth 
or other source of sound. 
2. Tap
