CHAPTER 8

Features and Utilities for Added Power

I n addition to its basic functions, the Organizer also provides an wide range of utilities and features to give you even greater control over your information. This chapter introduces and describes these features, which include text cutting, copying, and pasting, filtering of selected entries, and many more. Most people will not need to use all of these features on a daily basis.

You can pick and choose from among them to find the features that best suit your current task and your own way of working.

In general, all of the Organizer’s applications share the features explained in this chapter, while exceptions are clearly noted.

Copying or Moving Blocks of Text

The Organizer lets you cut, copy, or paste blocks of text.

The first step in cutting, copying, and pasting is to select the block of text you want to work with.

Text that has been cut or copied is stored on the unit’s internal clipboard. Only one block of text can be stored in the clipboard at a time, and it will remain there until a new block of text is cut or copied. There is no limit to the number of times you can paste the same text from the clipboard.

You can copy or move blocks of text in virtually any application.

1.

Select an entry in its application’s Index mode then display it in Edit mode.

2.

Make sure the cursor is placed at the start of the text you want to select.

3.

Hold down while moving the cursor across the desired text to select it.

4.

Press 2nd CUT to move the selected text to a new location (ie. remove it from its original location).

Press 2nd COPY if you want to make a copy of the text

(and leave the original text unchanged).

The selected text is stored in the clipboard.
