This tutorial introduces you to some of the Write Pad basic features.  Simply follow the steps outlined below to experiment and see for yourself some of the many things you can do using Write Pad:

1.      Launch both your text editing application and the Write Pad SIP on your mobile device.

2.      Make sure the Write Pad icon is highlighted (tap it if necessary) and write the following on your screen.  Try to write a bit more neatly that normal, and use larger letters until you get used to how the program responds to your input.  This will not affect CalliGrapher’s accuracy; rather, it will help introduce you to the program.  Write The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.

Once you run out of room in the writing pad and when you are finished with the sentence, either tap on the Enter button  next to the result window or use the Return gesture. Alternatively, the recognized text can be automatically sent to the application, if you start writing a new line of text on the left side of the ^ marker. The marker appears only if you have the Automatically insert results box in the Write Pad tab of the Configuration Manager checked.  You can change the position of the marker by tapping and holding your pen on the new line marker for about 0.5 seconds. A vertical line will appear above the marker.  Now you can drag the marker left or right.

3.      Select fox jumps over a lazy dog in the application, then use the Backspace button  or the Backspace gesture in the writing pad as shown below.

4.      The selected text is erased.

5.      Now, insert a carriage return by either tapping on the Enter button  or using the Return gesture. Make sure that the horizontal part of the gesture is at least twice as long as the vertical part.

6.      Note that the cursor moves down one line.

7.      Now use the Backspace gesture (straight line from right to left) or the Backspace button  to erase the carriage return and move back to the top line.

8.      Tap the word brown between the b and the r to position the cursor, and either tap the Space button  or use the Space gesture. 

9.      The space is added.

10. Use the Backspace gesture or the Backspace button  to remove the space.
