Write text 8 - Star - Opens a special characters table. 9 - Shift - Changes the character case, activates or deactivates predictive text input modes, and switches between letter and number modes. Traditional text input Tap a number key (1-9) repeatedly until the desired character appears. There are more characters available for a number key than are visible on the key. If the next letter is located on the same key as the present one, wait until the cursor appears (or move the cursor forward to end the time-out period), and enter the letter. To insert a space, tap 0. To move the cursor to the next line, tap 0 three times. Predictive text input With predictive text input, you can enter any word with a single key selection. Predictive text input is based on a built-in dictionary to which you can add new words. The predictive text dictionary is not available for all languages. 1. To activate predictive text input for all editors on the device, select > Activate prediction. You can also select > Activate predictive text. 2. To write the desired word, use the keys 2-9. Select each key only once for one letter. For example, to write "Nokia" when the English dictionary is selected, select 6 for N, 6 for o, 5 for k, 4 for i, and 2 for a. The word suggestion changes after each key selection. 3. When you finish writing the word correctly, move the cursor right to confirm it, or select 0 to add a space. If the word is not correct, select * repeatedly to view the matching words the dictionary has found one by one. If the ? character is displayed after the word, the word is not in the dictionary. To add a word to the dictionary, select Spell, enter the word using traditional text input, and select OK. The word is added to the dictionary. When the dictionary is full, a new word replaces the oldest added word. 34 © 2009 Nokia. All rights reserved.
