click. In the AutoText screen, type the first letter or first few
letters of the entry you would like to find. For this example,

Find, followed by the letter t.) The AutoText list will isolate all
entries beginning with the letter t. Scroll to the desired entry

Automatic formatting
The handhelds built-in formatting capabilities extend beyond the
AutoText function to reduce your typing time.
Auto capitalization
As you compose a message, you do not have to worry about
pressing the
SHIFT key to capitalize words the handheld has two
methods of performing capitalization for you.
Begin typing; you will see that the first letter you type is
capitalized automatically and that every first letter following a
period becomes capitalized too. The handheld recognizes the
beginning of a new sentence and does the work for you.
If you want any other characters to be capitalized, press and
hold the character key until it becomes capitalized. You must
have the Key Rate (Options>Screen/Keyboard) option set to
either Slow or Fast for this feature to work. See page 156 for
details on the Screen/Keyboard options.
