Tips

Draw straight lines in graphical notes

Tap on the start and end position of the line with your stylus.

Hint 1

To delete/copy parts of a graphical note please use Select, draw a line or a cycle around the items and Cut/Copy them.

Hint 2

To find out what all the buttons are for tap on a button, stay on it till a short message appears and then move the stylus away from the button and lift it up. This works with almost all programs on your WindowsCE device.
