Tapping and writing problems
Application problems
Problem Solution
When I tap the buttons or screen icons,
my Acer s10 activates the wrong
feature. Calibrate the screen. See "Digitizer preferences" on page 276.
When I tap the Menu icon , nothing
happens.
Not all applications or screens have menus. Try changing to a
different application.
I cannot get my Acer s10 to recognize
my handwriting. • For your Acer s10 to recognize handwriting input with
the stylus, you need to use Graffiti writing. See "Entering
data using Graffiti" on page 23.
• Make the Graffiti character strokes in the Graffiti writing
area, not on the display part of the screen.
• Write Graffiti strokes for letters in the left-hand side, and
the strokes for numbers in the right-hand side of the
Graffiti writing area.
• Make sure that Graffiti is not shifted into extended or
punctuation modes. See "Entering data using Graffiti" on
page 23.
• See "Graffiti tips" on page 31 for tips on increasing your
accuracy when you write Graffiti characters.
Problem Solution
I tapped the Today button, but it does
not show the correct date. Your Acer s10 is not set to the current date. Make sure the Set
Date box in the Date and Time Preferences screen displays the
current date. See "Date & Time preferences" on page 275 for
more information.
I know I entered some records, but they
do not appear in the application. • Check the Categories pick list (upper-right corner).
Choose All to display all records for that application.
• Check Security and confirm that Private Records is set to
Show private records.
• In To Do List, tap Show and see if Show Only Due Items is
selected.
