Moving around the screen

To move around the Palm® Treo™ 700wx smartphone screen, you can use the 5-way navigator or you can tap items on the touch screen with the stylus. As you become familiar with your smartphone, you’ll find your own favorite way to scroll, highlight, and select items.

Custom navigation features

Closing screens

To accept the information you entered on a screen and to return to the previous screen, do one of the following:

• Press OK .

• Use the stylus to tap or in the

upper-right corner of the screen.

NOTE When you close a screen, the

application still runs in memory. See the

Using Your Palm

Treo™ 700wx user guide

for instructions about viewing the amount of memory in use versus the available memory, and for instructions about closing applications and freeing up memory.

Highlighting and selecting items

On most screens, one item—a button, a list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by default. The highlight identifies which item is affected by your next action. Use the 5-way to move the highlight from one item to another before opening or selecting it.

The highlight can take one of two forms, depending on what is highlighted:

• Border glow: This rectangular border

highlights items such as an onscreen button (such as OK, Dismiss, or Hide), a check box, an option, or a web link.

• Reverse type (light text on a dark

background): This highlights items such as a phone number, an email address, text, or an item in a list.

After highlighting an item with the 5-way, you can select or activate it by pressing Center or by tapping the item with the stylus.

TIP

The best way to learn to use the 5-way is to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons and as you do, follow the movement of the border glow around the screen. The behavior of the 5-way varies slightly in each application.

Highlighting text

You can use the stylus to highlight text on the screen:

• Tap and drag the stylus across the text

you want to highlight. To highlight a word, double-tap it. To highlight a paragraph, triple-tap it.

Using the action keys

The left and right action keys give you quick access to tasks that you can do on the current screen, so the action key items vary from application to application and from screen to screen. Look on the screen directly above the action key to see the action that it does in the current context. In some contexts, these keys may do nothing at all. In most cases the right action key

opens the menu, and the left action key activates a specific command, such as New or Edit. Remember that action key functions vary from screen to screen, so be sure to check the onscreen label before pressing an action key.
