How To Do Other Really Cool Stuff
The following are a few examples of cool features that may not be readily apparent:
Pop-Up Menus In addition to WordSmith’s many pull-down menus, WordSmith also has some very handy pop-up menus for stylus users.  For example, if you are viewing a list of your docs, you can access a pop-up menu that lists the following: Edit, Beam, Delete, Duplicate, Rename, Category, Print and Details (a slightly different pop-up menu will appear for memos).  You can access the pop-up menu by tapping and holding anywhere on the listed doc or memo. 
Similarly, if you are editing a doc, a pop-up menu that lists the following: Cut, Copy, Bold Underline, Italics, Strikethrough, Larger, Smaller, and Font is available.  You can access this pop-up menu by tapping and holding to select a word then releasing, and tapping and holding on the selected word again.  A similar pop-up menu is also accessible while editing memos.
Tapping to Select Words, Sentences or Paragraphs   With WordSmith you can quickly select a word by tapping and holding in the center of the word.  If you continue to hold, you can select the full sentence and holding further will result in selecting the paragraph. 
Multi-Paste Unlike standard paste, multi-paste allows you to do a paste of any of your
last 10 'Cut' or 'Copy' commands within a document.  Just select multi-paste from the menu and a list appears with the beginning text of each 'Copy' or 'Cut'.  Select the one you want and it will be pasted into the document.  
Go to Paragraph This nifty go-to option opens a box that lists the first few words of each paragraph in your doc or memo. Select the paragraph you want to jump to by clicking on the beginning of the listed paragraph in the box.  Use the arrows in the upper right hand and lower right hand corner of the box  to move through all of the listed paragraphs.  To close this feature, simply tap outside of the box.
Print Your Document or Memo This option lets you print your document if you have a supported print utility such as Bachmann Software’s PrintBoy installed.  For more information on PrintBoy, visit www.bachmannsoftware.com.
Special Security Options These nifty options let you set the security level for your organizer and the security level for WordSmith.  Please see chapter 4 for more information.
Other Cool Stuff Please see Chapters 4-8 for descriptions of other cool features and instructions on how to get the most out of this application.

Synchronization and Conversion
Introduction

WordSmith’s synchronization technology is based upon the same technology that has made BackupBuddy & InstallBuddy such popular and easy to use products (available from www.bluenomad.com). WordSmith comes with a Windows and Macintosh conduit that allows you to synchronize your Microsoft Word documents and other RTF documents to your organizer, edit them and then send the revised document back to your desktop with little or no loss to the document’s original formatting!  In addition, for Linux users, WordSmith ships with a Command-line document converter.  This chapter describes how to use the conduits and the Command-line document converter.  
Note regarding WordSmith Synchronization Action 
Please note that by default the WordSmith conduit treats the document on your organizer as the latest version of the document.  As such, the version of the document on your organizer will trump the version on your desktop. Please see Synchronization Action and Backup Copies (below) for important information regarding synchronization of documents on your organizer with your desktop computer.
Syncing Documents to Your Organizer
This section of the manual describes how to use WordSmith to synchronize documents to and from your computer.
WordSmith makes it very easy for you to synchronize your documents to your organizer.  First you need to let WordSmith know which documents to synchronize and then all you need to do is HotSync!
There are 2 ways to let WordSmith know what documents to synchronize:  (1) through the WordSmith desktop application and (2) through the WordSmith add-on menu in Microsoft Word (Windows only), if you have Word.
Note for non-Microsoft Word Users
Please note that since WordSmith works directly with RTF files, you don’t actually need Microsoft Word to use it.  You can use any RTF editor on your computer, including WordPad, WordPerfect, etc.  Simply save your document as an RTF file and add it to the WordSmith desktop application per the instructions below.

WordSmith Desktop

The WordSmith desktop application is very similar in form to your organizer’s default installation tool.  In addition, the Windows and Macintosh versions are very similar.  Unless otherwise described the instructions below apply to both versions. 
To launch WordSmith desktop:
•	Windows version.  Click on the Window’s Start Button -> Programs -> WordSmith or click on your WordSmith shortcut icon, if applicable.
•	Macintosh version.  Double click on the WordSmith application.
When you open the WordSmith desktop window, you will see the list of documents that are being synchronized with your handheld on your next HotSync (first screenshot is from the Macintosh version, second is from the Windows version). 

To add documents to the WordSmith synchronize list, you can use the Add… button to browse for the document (described below) or simply drag-and-drop the document onto the WordSmith window.  The following describes the features of this window.
User Select your Palm username by using the arrow to the right of the User name box. 
Document Name Clicking on the document name will cause its properties to appear in the Document Properties box (described below, Windows only) and will select the document.  Double-clicking on the document name will open the document on your desktop.  Lastly, if you right click on the document name, you will see a menu that gives you the following options:  Open, Move, Remove, Print, Open Original*, Open Backup* and Explore (Windows only).  
* Open Original and Open Backup refer to copies of the document that were made when the document was first synchronized after being edited on the handheld and when the document was edited on the handheld and on the desktop, respectively.
Note regarding WordSmith Synchronization Action, Originals and Backup Copies 
Please note that by default the WordSmith conduit treats the document on your organizer as the latest version of the document.  As such, the version of the document on your organizer will trump the version on your desktop. Please see Synchronization Action and Backup Copies below for important information regarding synchronization of documents on your organizer with your desktop computer.
Document Properties When you select a document (by clicking on the document’s name in the above box), the location of the document on your desktop, the Palm category of the application (e.g., All, Unfiled, Business, etc.) and the date and time the document was last synchronized with your organizer is displayed in the bottom portion of the window.  (Windows only)
Size Shows the size of document, if available.  (Windows only) Before a document is synced, the size will be Unavailable.
Add… Click on the Add button to add documents to WordSmith for synchronization with the organizer.  When you click on Add, you will be prompted to select a username and then a window will open and allow you to browse for a document to add.  Simply select the document and click on Open.  The document should now be listed in the WordSmith window. 
Remove To remove a document from the WordSmith document list, select the document name and click on the Remove button.  In addition, if the document has been synchronized, selecting this feature will give you the option of having WordSmith delete the document on your organizer.  Alternatively, you may select the document name, right click and then click on Remove in the context menu.
Move… To move a document (and its original and backup copy, if applicable (please see Synchronization Action and Backup Copies below for more information)) from one location to another, select the document name and click on the Move button.  WordSmith will bring up a list of destination folders for the document (Windows version) or window that you can use to select the destination directory (Macintosh version).  Click on the folder you want and then click on the OK or Choose button.  The document will now be moved to the location selected.  Alternatively, you may select the document name, right click and then click on Move in the context menu. (Windows only).  
Preferences… Currently, the Preferences screen provides you with the following options.  

First, the Preferences screen allows you to change the default directory into which documents created on your organizer are saved when they are synchronized to your desktop computer.  By default these documents are synchronized to your My Documents folder (for Windows) or in the WordSmith folder in the Palm user folder inside the Palm desktop folder (for Macintosh) on your desktop.  You can hit the Choose button to select a different location for these files to go.  The WordSmith Preferences dialog box also lets you choose what file extension you would like these files to have (Windows only).  Currently, the choice is .doc or .rtf.  For those of you who are using word processors other than Microsoft Word, .rtf is the most appropriate choice.  Lastly, WordSmith allows you to preserve the stylesheets of documents created on your organizer.  By default, WordSmith is not set up to preserve these stylesheets for performance reasons (they would require a lot of memory on your organizer).  To change the default option to “Always” preserve stylesheets, simply click on the pull-down arrow to the right of the box.
Help Click on the Help button to access the WordSmith manual. (Windows only)
Done or Quit Click on the Done or Quit button to close the WordSmith window.
WordSmith Add-On to Microsoft Word Menu (Windows only)

If you are already in Microsoft Word, using the WordSmith add-on menu in Word may be the easiest option for you to prepare documents for synchronization (Windows only).  If you have a document open that you want to synchronize with your organizer, all you need to do is select WordSmith -> Add.   

Note regarding WordSmith Menu in Microsoft Word (Windows only)
The WordSmith menu is added to Microsoft Word during the installation of WordSmith.  If would like to remove the add-on from Word, select the following:  Tools -> Templates and Add-Ins and uncheck the box in front of WordSmith.dot.  To add the WordSmith add-on, simply check the box described above.
Opening WordSmith Documents on Your Organizer and Your Desktop

To open a synchronized document on your organizer is a breeze… All you need to do is launch WordSmith, select the Doc Title Tab and tap on the name of the synchronized document.  It will quickly open. Opening the document on your desktop is just as easy.  Once again, you have a couple options:

•	From within the WordSmith desktop application, simply double click on the document name and it will open.
•	Using the WordSmith add-on menu in Microsoft Word (Windows only), select WordSmith -> Open to open the WordSmith list of documents. Simply double click on the document name and it will open.
•	Open the document like you would any other document on your desktop.  For example, if you chose to have docs created on your Palm go to My Documents, open My Documents to open your document.

Display and Formatting – What is Lost and What is Not
WordSmith is capable of preserving all of the below:
Fonts Name*, size*, color,** bold, underline, italics, superscript*, subscript* and strikethrough
Justification left, right, center and full*
Indents   first, hanging, left and right
Page breaks and outline levels*
Keep lines together* and keep with next paragraph*
Spacing (inter-paragraph) before and after
Spacing (intra-paragraph) single, double, etc.!
RTF document properties (information) – you can access this in Word by selecting Properties under the File menu
*Except for items with an * or ** after them, WordSmith is capable of displaying all of the above on your organizer.   
**Color organizer required for display on your organizer.
Currently, WordSmith does not display or preserve: tables, objects, pictures, database links and inter-document links on your organizer.
Synchronization Action and Backup Copies
This section describes how the synchronization actually works.  For purposes of illustration, let’s assume that you have a document on your desktop called “Poetic License.”  When WordSmith synchronizes Poetic License to your organizer, nothing happens to the copy of Poetic License on your desktop.  Poetic License will only be altered on your desktop if you edit and save Poetic License on your organizer and then synchronize the revised doc back to your desktop. At this point, WordSmith will create the following 2 files on your desktop:
•	Poetic License.doc (or Poetic License.rtf, if you are a Macintosh user) -the revised document that you just synchronized from your organizer to your desktop and
•	Poetic License-orig.doc (or with the .rtf extension if you are a Macintosh user or depending upon how you have set WordSmith Preferences (Windows users)) – this is a copy of your unedited, original of Poetic License.
In the event of a “collision,” a situation where you have not only edited Poetic License on your organizer but also on the desktop, WordSmith will conclude that the version on your organizer is the most recent version.  In this case, WordSmith will make a copy of the revised document on your desktop and call it Poetic License-back.doc (or .rtf).
The Poetic License -orig.doc (or .rtf) and Poetic License -back.doc (or .rtf) files are saved in the same location as the original Poetic License doc was saved.
To override the above synchronization actions, use the standard HotSync Custom dialog.  For Windows users, you can access this by clicking on the red and blue HotSync icon in the rightmost corner of your traybar and selecting Custom and then WordSmith or clicking on Windows Start -> Programs -> Palm Desktop -> HotSync -> Custom.

For information about the Synchronize the files option, please see above.  Desktop overwrites handheld copies all files from your WordSmith desktop’s file list to your organizer (this action will replace the files on your organizer with the ones from your desktop).
Handheld overwrites desktop causes all documents on your organizer to be placed in the directory you selected for WordSmith and overrides the files that are there.  Do nothing turns off synchronization of your WordSmith files.
WordSmith Command-line converter under Windows

In addition to the conduit, advanced Windows users may use an ms-dos command-line program for converting WordSmith documents to and from the RTF format. 

Please note:
1.	This program is for advanced users only and is not currently supported under Windows
2.	The application currently only converts to and from RTF files.  It will not convert a source document that is not RTF.  If you wish to do so, we recommend using makedoc or a similar utility.

Usage:
WSConv [-n] [-ps] <input file> <output file> <title>:
Converts an RTF file to WordSmith's rich document Palm “PDB” format.

[-n] builds the Palm file without compression.  
[-ps] preserves document stylesheet, if any.

All fields are required except “-n” and “-ps”, which are optional.

WSConv -d <input file> <output file>
Converts WordSmith rich document PDB to RTF format.  All fields are required.

WordSmith on Linux/Intel

Since Linux does not support a standard HotSync conduit API, such as the one available under Windows and MacOS, we are not currently able to offer conduit support for Linux.  

Nonetheless, we have provided a shell-based conversion application called wsconv for converting to and from RTF documents.  If you are looking for a high-quality and free word-processor for Linux that is able to read and write RTF files, we recommend AbiWord (http://www.abiword.com).

Please note:
1.	The application currently only converts to and from RTF files.  It will not convert a source document that is not RTF.  If you wish to do so, we recommend using makedoc or a similar utility.
2.	The application was compiled under RedHat Linux/Intel 6.0 and should work with any later release of RedHat Linux.
3.	Source code for the application is not available at this time.  If you are using a different Linux distribution, or a UNIX variant and are not able to run the conversion application, please contact support@bluenomad.com.

Usage:

Using wsconv under Linux is similar to that under Windows.  Please refer to the description above.

WordSmith under MacOS

With the release of the Macintosh conduit for WordSmith, we are no longer supporting the stand-alone document converter for Macintosh. The stand-alone application converts RTF documents to WordSmith’s Palm PDB format, and converts WordSmith’s Palm PDB files back to RTF documents. 

Please note: 
1.	The application currently only converts to and from RTF documents.  It has been tested with Microsoft Word, but not other MacOS word processors.  This means that if you have a Word document that you would like to convert, you should save it as an RTF file, via Word’s “Save As…” command under the Word “File” menu.
2.	The application should work with any 68K or PowerPC Macintosh, running MacOS 7.5 or better; however, it has only been tested under MacOS 9 running on a PowerPC Macintosh.  
3.	The application does not currently support drag-and-drop operations or the Appearance Manager.

Usage:

1.	Launch the WordSmith Document Converter application by double-clicking its name in the Finder.  
2.	To convert a document, click the Convert button, and navigate to the file you want to convert.  If the file is an RTF document, you will be prompted to save it as a Palm PDB file.  If the file is a Palm PDB file (ie. ends in “.PDB”), you will be prompted to save it as a Word RTF document.
3.	To enable the preservation of stylesheets, check the “preserve stylesheet” box in the lower portion of the dialog box (not shown above). 
4.	If you converted an RTF document to a Palm PDB file, you can use the Palm Install tool that came with your MacPac/HotSync software to install the file to your Palm.  If you are unsure of how to do that, please refer to the documentation that came with the MacPac software, or visit http://www.palm.com for more information.  If you converted a Palm PDB file to an RTF document and you have Microsoft Word installed on your Macintosh, you can now edit the file by double-clicking it in the Finder.

Locating Palm PDB Files to Convert:

1.	Navigate to the folder into which you installed the MacPac/HotSync software.
2.	Open the “Users” folder
3.	Locate and open your Palm’s data folder – it will be a variation on your Palm User Name.  For example, if your Palm User Name is “Joe Smith”, your Palm’s data folder would be called “JSmith”.
4.	Locate and open the Backup folder inside your Palm’s data folder.  WordSmith document files that exist on your Palm can be found inside this folder.

WordSmith Overview 

Introduction

As mentioned above, WordSmith is not only a document editor but also an enhanced memo pad and document viewer.  This section briefly covers the differences between the WordSmith memos and docs and the Edit Mode and View Mode of WordSmith.  In addition, it covers some basics, such as understanding WordSmith’s memo and doc list views (the screens that list all of your memos or docs (the “List View Screen”)) and organizing and accessing more information about your memos and docs. Lastly, the pull-down menus that are accessible while you are in a List View Screen are also described below.  
Note Regarding Coverage of WordSmith Pull-Down Menus in this Manual
After spending a few minutes playing around with WordSmith, you will see that it is an incredibly feature-rich and menu-rich application.  To help you understand what the menu items refer to we have split up coverage of the menus as described below:  
Doc and Memo List View Screen Menus – Chapter 4
Doc Editing Menus – Chapter 5
Memo Editing Menus – Chapter 6
Doc and Memo Viewing Menus – Chapter 7
Memos v. Docs 
When you launch WordSmith on your organizer, you are given the option of working with  memos or docs.  You can toggle between memos and docs by clicking on the Memo or Doc Title Tab at the top of the WordSmith list view screen.
WordSmith memos and docs have many of the same menu options and functionality.  In general, memos are good for short notes, to-do lists and other material that doesn’t necessarily need to be synced to your desktop. (In WordSmith, memos lose formatting when they are synced to your desktop.  If you do decide that you want to sync a memo with your desktop, select Save as Doc and then sync it to your desktop.)  Docs, on the other hand, are good for longer letters, papers and reports.  Another major difference between docs and memos is that memos have a 4,000-character limit and do not have some of the formatting features that are available with docs.  Lastly, when you close a doc and reopen the doc, WordSmith remembers where you were in the doc and whether you were in Edit Mode or View Mode.  WordSmith memos do not have this capability at this time.
WordSmith memo is vastly improved over the built-in memo pad on your organizer.  For example, it supports rich text (i.e., bold, underline and italics), formatting, such as right and left justification and centering and the Palm Portable and Stowaway keyboard like no other application!  Take a few minutes to check it out (see below for basic menu items and for additional menu items see Chapter 6.
Note Regarding Remapping Memo Pad Button as WordSmith Button
During the installation of WordSmith, you are given the opportunity to remap the Memo Pad button as the WordSmith button.  If at a later point you decide that you would like to take us up on this, please tap Applications -> Preferences and then choose Buttons from the pop-up menu in the upper-right.  Click on the arrow next to Memo Pad and select WordSmith to remap.  If you would like to remap back to the Memo Pad, simply follow the steps below except choose Memo Pad.
Edit Mode v. View Mode
When you launch WordSmith on your organizer and open a memo or doc, you are given the option to edit or view it.  WordSmith is in View Mode if the button to the immediate right of the Done button in the toolbar says View.  If it says Edit, it is in Edit Mode.  You can toggle between Edit Mode and View Mode by tapping on this button at any time.

In Edit Mode you are provided with tools for editing and formatting text.  In View Mode , on the other hand, you are protected from making unwanted changes to the text that you are viewing.  In addition, in View Mode there are some handy scrolling features that permit you to auto-scroll, etc.  For more information on these scrolling features, please see Chapter 7. 
Viewing Lists of Your Memos and Docs
When you launch WordSmith, you will see a list of all of the memos (if you have Memo selected) or the Docs (if you have Doc selected) that are available on your organizer to view or edit. Each list may be categorized, filtered and organized as described below.  In addition, on the memo or doc list screen (shown below), there are 2 menus that allow you to perform a number of operations with the listed memos and documents, including beam, rename, delete, etc.  For memos, there are 3 menus: Record, Edit and Options menu. Likewise, docs have a File, Edit and Options menu. For more information on the List Screen and these menus, please see below.

Memo/Doc List View Screen Features

Pop-Up Menus In addition to WordSmith’s many pull-down menus, WordSmith also has some very handy pop-up menus for stylus users.  For example, if you are viewing a list of your docs, you can access a pop-up menu that lists the following: Edit, Beam, Delete, Duplicate, Rename, Category, Print and Details (a slightly different pop-up menu will appear for memos).  You can access the pop-up menu by tapping and holding anywhere on the listed doc or memo. 
Memo/Doc The Memo/Doc Title Tab lets you chose whether you want to be in a memo or doc.  To use memos, tap on the word Memo in the Title Tab.  Alternatively, tap on Doc in the Title Tab to choose docs.  Whichever word is highlighted indicates which mode you are in.
Categories Like many Palm programs, WordSmith helps you stay organized by letting you assign your memos and documents to categories.  WordSmith has the following default categories for memos and docs:  All, Business, Personal and Unfiled.  In addition, WordSmith lets you add to and edit these categories for both.  WordSmith allows you to have up to 16 categories (including Unfiled) for each!  

Edit Categories By tapping on Edit Categories, you will bring up the Edit Categories dialog box shown below.  This dialog box allows you to add new categories and rename or delete existing categories. Please note that you can have different categories for memos and docs and that categories changed in one mode are not automatically changed in the other.

New To create a new category, tap on the New button and enter a new category name when prompted and then tap OK.
Rename To rename an existing category, simply select the category name you wish to rename, click on the Rename button, enter the new category name and then tap Ok.
Delete To delete an existing category, simply select the category name you wish to delete, tap the Delete button and then tap OK to exit the Edit Categories dialog box.
Memo or Doc Name To open the memo or doc, simply tap on its name.
 To the left of each WordSmith document (i.e., a document that contains rich text, such as bold, italics or underline) is a small W icon.  If you tap on the W icon, it will bring up the pop-up menu. 
Doc Size To the right of each document name is a number that represents the size of the file.  Please note that this feature is not available for memos.
Doc Type To the left of each document that contains rich text (i.e., a WordSmith doc), you will see a small W icon. 
New To create a new memo or doc, simply tap on the New button.  When you create a new doc, you will be prompted to enter a name for the new doc.  
Register To register, simply tap on the Register button and enter your registration code.   Please note that once you have registered, this Register button will disappear.
Filter:……………If you have many memos or docs, this filter feature may save you a lot of time.  Rather than scroll through all your memos or docs looking for the doc titled Zoology, you can use this feature to quickly see all memos or docs that start with the letter Z or Zoo or Zoology.  Simply input the text that you want to use to filter (e.g., Z, Zoo or Zoology) by inputting it to the right of the word Filter and the filtering will automatically begin.
Free:…k Once you have registered WordSmith, the Register button disappears and this option becomes enabled.  This option simply tells you how much free memory you have available.

For example, if you copy a name from a document or another application, you can simply paste it into the Filter and quickly view the memos that have the selected name in the title.  
Keyboard  Tapping on Keyboard will bring up the onscreen keyboard on your organizer.
Graffiti Help  This option provides you with a list of all of the Graffiti characters.
Memo Options Menu
The Option menu for WordSmith memos has the following features: 

Table Font…  Select the font size for the text in the List View Screen by tapping on the size you want  (e.g., small, normal or large).  This font will then be applied to the memo and doc list.
Display Font… Select the font size for the text of your Memos and Docs by tapping on the size you want  (e.g., small, normal, large or extra large (if you have opted to install the extra font set during installation)).  For color organizers, you can also set text and background color from this dialog box. This font will then be applied to all of the memos and docs in WordSmith.
Preferences…  This option allows you to select how your memos are listed on the List Screen , to change the highlight color (available to certain newer and color models only), to enable left-handed support and to turn on or off smooth scrolling (turning off smooth-scroll will result in line by line or “jerky” scrolling).  The default sorting mode is Alphabetic.  To change the ordering to manual (so you can sort them), tap on the arrow to the left of Alphabetic, tap on Manual and then OK.  To enable the other options, merely check or uncheck the associated check box.

Security…  This dialog box, which is also accessible from the doc Options menu, allows you to set your security preferences for WordSmith.  If enabled, these preferences will become your minimum security settings for WordSmith.  In other words, if your handheld’s security is set to a higher standard, then the higher standard will apply.  If your handheld’s security is not set or is set to a lower level, then the setting you have selected for WordSmith will trump.  For more information about your handheld’s security options, please refer to your handheld’s documentation.
WordSmith comes with 2 security timer options.  The first enables you to set a timer to password protect WordSmith. For example, if you want WordSmith to require that you provide a password after a certain period of time, check the Require password after ___ box.  To require a password upon start-up of WordSmith, set the time to 0 minutes.  Also, you can set WordSmith to automatically increase its security level.  For example, you can set WordSmith to automatically mask or hide all private records after a certain amount of time has passed (minutes, hours or days).  Lastly, for your convenience, you can elect to show, mask or hide private records from this screen by using the Show/Mask/Hide push buttons.

Please note that masked records (records that have been replaced with gray placeholders as opposed to hidden records that are deleted from the screen) are generally supported by devices running Palm OS 3.5 or better.  Nevertheless, users of devices running Palm OS 3.0 or better will be able to mask records within WordSmith with this feature!

Use the arrows on the upper right hand and lower right hand corner to move through the document a paragraph at a time.  Alternatively, you can scroll through the list by using the Cmd + arrow keys. Click on the paragraph that you would like to jump to. To close this feature, simply tap outside of the box.
Go To / Count   This option enables the Go To / Count dialog box shown below.

This feature allows you to be pretty specific about where in the document you want to go.  You can choose from going to a certain paragraph of the document, a certain character or percentage through the document.  Don’t waste too much time fretting over which method to use… once you fill in any of the 3, the other categories will automatically be filled in…so, if you said you wanted to go to paragraph 4 of your document, the program automatically fills in what character and percent of the document paragraph 4 represents.
Paragraph   This option not only lets you jump to a certain paragraph in the document, it also lets you know how many paragraphs are in the document.  In addition, by clicking on the arrow to the right of Paragraph, you can see the first few words of each paragraph in your document and go to a paragraph by selecting the first few words of it.  To close the paragraph content box, simply tap outside of the box.

•	  Record

•	  Format
•	  Option
Note on Special Keyboard Support and Shortcuts for Menu Items
. Please note that you may use a Palm Portable or Stowaway keyboard to jump between the menus and maneuver within menus.  Once the menus are open, simply use the arrow keys to move between and within menus. Our goal with this application is to allow avid keyboard users the ability to type memos and docs without having to use the stylus. In addition, please note that every menu item has an associated Graffiti and keyboard shortcut.  Please see Chapter 8 for more information.
Memo Record Menu
The Record menu for WordSmith memos has the following options:

New Memo   This option saves you a few clicks and allows you to open a new memo from within another memo.  It will automatically save and close the memo that you are in and open a blank memo. 
Save as Doc…  As many of you are aware, the memos that you type on your organizers are subject to a 4,000-character ceiling.  If you hit this limit, WordSmith will automatically give you the option of saving the memo as a doc.  Nevertheless, if you would like to convert your memo to a doc before hitting the ceiling, select this option and enter a name for your new doc.  Please note that you will still have a copy of the memo in WordSmith.
Delete Memo…  This option will let you delete the memo that you are in.  When you select this option, a dialog box will ask you whether you want to save an archive copy on your PC.  To enable this archive option, simply tap on the Save archive copy on Pc box and tap on OK.
Abandon Changes   This option will let you close the memo without saving any of the changes that you made during the editing session.

This box indicates what category the memo is saved under and allows you to change the memo category by clicking on the arrow to the left of the category name.

Go To Top   This option takes your cursor to the top of the memo.
Go To Bottom   This option takes your cursor to the bottom of the memo.
Go To Paragraph…  This option opens the box shown below in your memo (kind of like your television’s, picture in picture feature) and shows you the first few words of each paragraph in your memo.  

To select the paragraph you want to go to, tap on the first few words of the paragraph in the dialog box.  To close this feature, simply tap outside of the box.
Go To / Count…  This option enables the Go To / Count dialog box shown below.

This feature allows you to be pretty specific about where in the memo you want to go.  You can choose from going to a certain paragraph of the memo, a certain character or percentage through the memo.  Don’t waste too much time fretting over which method to use… once you fill in any of the 3, the other categories will automatically be filled in…so, if you said you wanted to go to paragraph 4 of your memo, the program automatically fills in what character and percent of the memo paragraph 4 represents.
Paragraph   This option not only lets you jump to a certain paragraph in the document, it also lets you know how many paragraphs are in the document.  In addition, by clicking on the arrow to the right of Paragraph, a box will pop-up that will let you see the contents of the first few words of each paragraph in your memo.  You can select and go to a paragraph by clicking on its first few words in the box.  To close the paragraph content box, simply tap outside of the box.
Character   This option not only lets you jump to a certain character in the document, it also lets you know how many characters are in the document.

Document Viewing

General Viewing
Many handheld computer users are familiar with Doc Viewers or E-book readers – these are the programs that let you read a book or document on your organizer.  WordSmith takes these isolated “viewer/reader” applications and boosts their usefulness by coupling them with a powerful word processor and memo pad.  Doing a little research on the road and want to quote the author in a report you are writing?  Great… simply, copy and paste text out of the book right into a report (i.e., another doc or memo).  
This section describes the features and menu options that are available when one is using WordSmith to view or read docs or memos.  Of course, you can view or read when you are in Edit Mode, but View Mode has some benefits, such as special scrolling options, that you will come to enjoy.  Also, View Mode can save you from a costly, inadvertent deletion of important text!
A quick note before we begin coverage of the View Mode of WordSmith – since the features and menus of the View Mode for docs and memos are virtually identical, we have decided to cover both modes in one section.  For simplicity sake, we will just refer to document viewing in the remainder of this section, except where there is a difference in features.
Note on Rotating Screen for Easy Viewing
WordSmith users who are accustomed to flipping their organizer’s 90 degrees and reading the screen such that each line of text has more characters will be happy to hear that this is doable with a freeware program called FlipHack.  For more information or to download a free copy of FlipHack, please visit::  http://www.byteswapped.com/palm...
View Mode Screen Features 
This section outlines the various features that are available in the View Mode. To get in View Mode, launch WordSmith on your organizer, open a doc or create a new doc and change WordSmith to View Mode (if it isn’t already in View Mode, you can do this by tapping on the Edit button). The figure below is a screenshot of the Doc View Mode. 

Document name   The left side of the Title Bar indicates the name of the document that you are viewing.  (Note: in Memo View Mode, the left side of the Title Bar indicates what memo you are in by the memo’s number (e.g., 1 of 4).  
Category   The right side of the Title Bar indicates the category that the doc is in.  In the example above, the category is Unfiled. To change the doc’s category, simply tap on the category to get the category pop-up menu.  You can change the categorization of the doc by tapping on one of the listed categories or by selecting Edit Categories and creating a new category, delete categories you no longer need, etc.
Done button  Tap the done button to close and save the doc.
View button  Tap the view button to switch from view mode to edit mode.  Tap it again to switch back to view mode.
Stylus Drag button   This button turns on direct scrolling mode and lets the doc slide under your stylus as if you were dragging it up and down.

Auto-Scroll button   This button turns on auto-scroll mode.  With Auto-Scroll, you have two scrolling options.  If you tap and hold, the text will automatically scroll.  The farther you are from the center, the faster it scrolls up or down.  If you lift the stylus, the document will stop scrolling.  Alternatively, if you just tap near the top or bottom, it will scroll a whole page at a time.  If you tap near the center, it will scroll half of a page.  Please see the note below regarding Preferences.

Teleprompter button   This button turns on teleprompter mode.  Just tap the stylus to the screen for variable speed – the closer to the center the slower it will scroll. Please see the note below regarding Preferences.

Arrow   Tap on the arrow in the lower right hand corner to hide the toolbar.  Tap on it again to get it back.
Scrolling The right side of the screen has a scrollbar.  Use your stylus to move the cursor up and down in the document.  Note you can slowly scroll through the memo by putting your cursor on the up or down arrow or quickly move through the memo by dragging the bar on the scrollbar.
Note regarding Smooth Scrolling Preferences.  Please note that there are a few preferences that affect how you View your documents.  To access the Preferences dialog box seen below, return to the Doc or Memo list screen and open the Options menu and select Preferences.  Among other things, this option will allow you to enable left-handed support and to turn on or off smooth scrolling (turning off smooth-scroll will result in line by line or somewhat “jerky” scrolling).

View Mode Menus
This section describes the menu options that are available once one is in View Mode.  To see these menus, you need to launch WordSmith on your organizer, open a memo or doc and change from Edit Mode to View Mode (if it isn’t already in View Mode, you can do this by tapping on the Edit button in the toolbar) and opening the doc or memo you want to view.
Once you are inside of a doc or memo, click on your organizer’s Menu icon (or FN+Phone for Palm Portable and Stowaway keyboard users) and you will see the following menus:

•	  For Docs:  File and Options
•	  For Memos:  Record and Options
Please note that the Doc View Mode File and Options menus are identical to the Doc Edit Mode File and Options menus covered above.  Similarly, the Memo View Mode Record and Options menus are identical to the Memo Edit Mode Record and Options menus.  For more information on these menus, please see Chapters 5 (Doc Editing) and Chapter 6 (Memo Editing).

Graffiti and Keyboard Shortcuts
Graffiti Shortcuts
The Graffiti shortcuts save you time by reducing the number of taps you need to make and the number of menus you need to open to get the most of all of WordSmith’s features and menus.   To use a shortcut key, enter the shortcut symbol (e.g., the slash with a dot at the end) by tapping in the lower left hand screen of the Graffiti box and slashing upward in a northeast direction and entering the corresponding Graffiti shortcut.  For example, in doc Edit Mode, to use the Copy command’s shortcut, enter in a slash and a C. WordSmith’s Graffiti shortcuts are listed in the menus, to the right of the feature name. 
Keyboard Shortcut Keys
The following keyboard shortcuts were developed exclusively for use with Palm Portable and Stowaway keyboards. To use a shortcut key, hold down the modifier key (usually, the Ctrl key) and press the keyboard key corresponding to the command.  For example, to use the Bold command’s shortcut key, hold down Ctrl and press b.  Please note that many shortcuts will also work on the GoType! Keyboard.
To see a list of the keyboard shortcut keys on your organizer, open a doc or memo in Edit Mode, open the Edit menu and select Keyboard Shortcuts…
To speed up the key repeat rate (this is especially important for backspacing), tap the keyboard icon on your organizer and drag the “Key Repeat Rate” slider to the right.
Note on Special Keyboard Support for Menus
. Please note that you may use a Palm Portable or Stowaway keyboard to jump between the menus and maneuver within menus.  Once the menus are open, simply use the arrow keys to move between and within menus.
