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:

䢇 Border glow: This rectangular border highlights items such as

an onscreen button (OK, Dismiss, or Hide), a check box, an option, or a Web link.

䢇 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.

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

䊳 Tap and drag the stylus across the text you want to highlight. To highlight a word,

Using the Softkeys

The left and right softkeys give you quick access to tasks that you can do on the current screen, so the softkey items vary from application to application and from screen to screen. Look on the screen directly above the softkey 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 softkey

opens the menu, and the left softkey activates a specific command.
