Type text
To type in most fields, use the SureType™ input
method. Press each letter key once until you have
typed an entire word. When you use SureType
technology, the letters on the screen should change
automatically until the word is complete.
For example, to type the word run, press ER + UI +
BN. Press the Space key.
If you type all the letters in a word and the word does
not appear correctly, or if more than one word is
available for the keys that you pressed, use the list
that appears on the screen to build a word.
• To move through selections in the list, press the
Next key. You can also roll the trackwheel to move
forward and backward in the list.
• To choose a selection from the list and continue
typing the same word, press the Enter key or click
the trackwheel.
• To choose a selection from the list and begin
typing a new word, press the Space key.
• To delete letters that you have typed, press the
Backspace/Delete key.
