looking up address book records
when working with address book, the scroll buttons on the front panel of your handheld make it easy to navigate among your address entries.
■ in the address list screen, pressing the scroll buttons moves up or down an entire screen of records. if you hold down a scroll button, you accelerate the scrolling and display every third screen.
■ in the address view screen, pressing the scroll buttons moves to the previous or next address record.
you can also use the address list look up feature to quickly scroll to any of your address book entries.
to look up an address book record:
1. display the address list screen.
2. enter the first letter of the name you want to find.
the list scrolls to the first entry that begins with that letter. if you write another letter, the list scrolls to the first entry that starts with those two letters. for example, writing a "c" scrolls to "cain," and writing "car" scrolls further to "carpenter." if you sort the list by company name, the look up feature scrolls to the first letter of the company name.
3. tap the record to view its contents.
using find
you can use find to locate any text that you specify, in any application.
to use find:
1. tap the find icon
.if you select text in an application before you tap find, the selected text automatically appears in the find dialog box.
2. enter the text that you want to find.
find is not case-sensitive. for example, searching for the name "davidson" also finds "davidson."
find locates any words that begin with the text you enter. for example, searching for "plane" finds "planet," but not "airplane."
3. tap ok.
find searches for the text in all records and all notes.
as your handheld searches for the text, you can tap stop at any time. you may want to do this if the entry you want appears before your handheld finishes the search. to continue the search after you tap stop, tap find more.
4. tap the text that you want to review.
using phone lookup

phone lookup tips
write the graffiti command stroke "/l" to activate the phone lookup feature. you can also activate it in the following circumstances:
■ while entering text: for example, to insert the full name and phone number for someone with the last name "williams," write the graffiti characters for "wi" and then the phone lookup command stroke "/l."
assuming you have only one address book record that begins with "wi," your handheld inserts the full name "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."
■ for selected text: drag to highlight the text, and then write the phone lookup command stroke "/l." your handheld replaces the selected text and adds the name and its associated information.
