using find
you can use find to locate any text that you specify, in any application that resides on your handheld. find does not search applications that reside on an expansion card.
2. enter the text that you want to find.
tip if you select text in an application before you tap find, the selected text automatically appears in the find dialog box.
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.
looking up contacts records
in contacts, you can use the look up line with the stylus or navigator to look up and quickly scroll to any of your contacts entries.
to look up a contacts record with the stylus:
1. from the contacts list screen, 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 an s scrolls to “sands,” and writing sm scrolls further to “smith.” if you sort the list by company name, the look up feature scrolls to the first letter of the company name.

3. press right on the navigator to move to the next letter box.
the quick look up line displays only letters that are a possible match for that position. for example, in the screen shown here, if you enter c in the first box, only the letters a, h, and o appear in the second box.
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.
