Text Editing Keys on Standard Spelling Keyboards
Keys for Editing Text - Text Editing Keys are not a separate menu in the Toolbox. They are keys on spelling and storing pages. They can be very helpful when you are working with a lot of text, such as in a Notebook.
The below example is from the standard Storing QWERTY keyboard
Key Mode ON/OFF - Use with the internal computer.
When this is turned ON, you can see both your Windows application and your MAP at the same time. Your MAP screen is reduced to four or two rows.
Scroll Keys - When Key Mode is ON, Scroll Keys allows you to scroll through your NuVoice software screen (MAP) so you can see the whole page. * This Tool is also available in the TOOLS menu.
Ext. Chars (Extended Characters) - Opens a page with special character keys such as accented letters, pound sign, Greek symbols, etc.
Arrow Keys - Move the cursor in the direction the arrow is pointing: up, down, left or right. Use them to navigate through text or through things like icon categories and Activities.
Home - Moves the cursor to the front of the current line of text.
Page Up - Moves the cursor to the top of the current page.
Page Down - Moves the cursor to the bottom of the current page.
End - Moves the cursor to the end of the current line.
Edit Mode - Determines how far the arrow keys move the cursor—sentence-by-sentence, word-by-word or character-by-character.
Edit Menu - Allows you to move, copy or delete highlighted text. You can also do a Find and Replace.
Replace - Allows you to search for a word and replace it with a different word.
Block Mark - Allows you to highlight text which you can then cut, copy and paste.
· Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the beginning of the text you want to highlight.
· Select Block Mark.
· Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the end of the text to be highlighted. As you move the cursor, the text it passes through will be highlighted.
· When the text is highlighted, open the Edit Menu and select the option you want for your highlighted text.
You can use Edit Mode to highlight by words or sentences rather than characters.
To un-highlight text you are marking, select Block Mark again.
Cut, Paste, Copy Highlighted Text
Highlight the text to be cut or copied.
Open the Edit Menu and select the option you want.
Cutting text is the same as deleting it. You can paste it back into its original document or somewhere else. If you do not paste cut text somewhere, it will eventually be lost.
To paste the text somewhere else, place your cursor where you want the text to go. Select Paste from the Edit Menu.
To copy text, highlight the text to be copied and select Copy from the Edit Menu. Place your cursor where you want the text to go and select Paste from the Edit Menu. Copied text is not deleted from its original place.
You can also select the MOUSE RIGHT CLICK key from the TOOLS menu. Then touch a key on your MAP. You will see a small menu that allows you to cut, paste, copy and use the SETUP key.
Note: To change the Storing Keyboard go to User Area Menu to find the Storing Keyboard options. You can either select the standard QWERTY or choose User Define to change to a different spelling keyboard. If you select a different spelling keyboard, you will want to make sure it has standard tools on it such as Insert Tool so you have full programming options.
