Okay, lets make
your first BlockNote! First thing we are going to do is load
a new note blank.
 |
First tap the globe on your
welcome screen. This will launch the navigation
bar. |
|
|
 |
Now tap the Image Blanks Database
Icon. |
|
|
|
From the table select an image to
work with. In this case I have selected Decadence
10 from the Decadence Image Pack I have previously
loaded into my PDA. See more about installing
background images.. |

Selecting an Image for Editing
You are now in the Image Blanks
Database Viewer.
From here you can view information about the image you
are viewing or view other images within the category.
 |
Tap the Note Editor Icon to pass
the image to the editing screen. |
|
|

Now you are ready to begin
editing your note.
 |
Tap on the Composite Image
Menu Icon. |
|
|
 |
To undo an action tap this
icon. See more in
BlockNotes Editor section. |
|
|

First let's select a title for
our note.
Make note of which orientation your
image is in...vertical or horizontal. Tap the
appropriate menu item when prompted.
Tap the pencil icon next to the title
you want to use.
Next repeat the process and
select an icon for your note.
Icons are only available in vertical orientation.

And now a border.....
Note that accents are only available in horizontal
orientation. They employ the same selection screen as
borders.

Next let's add some text to you
note.
There are two basic options for adding text to your
BlockNote. You can add text right to the note or you can
use the the text form editor.
For now we'll add our text to the note directly using a
standard text field. From the editing menu select
text, then "vertical" when prompted for text options.
Note that the text curser is now active with in the text
entry field. You can enter text into this field using
graffiti or the palm keyboard. Generally I will enter my
text using graffiti then align it using the keyboard.
A note about entering text using graffiti:
1) When setting curser focus in the field using your
stylus a mark often appears on the image where the
curser is set. As long as you tapped your stylus in the
field and not adjacent to it the mark will disappear
when writing.
I find it the most efficient to rough in my text with
graffiti then use the keyboard to align text and insert
line breaks.
2) For common text entries such as "Pick up Billy after
school" or any other entry you make often it is most
efficient to use the text
form editor.

Voila! Your first BlockNote!
Next experiment with back
ground colors.
 |
To fill the background tap the
bucket fill icon to pick a background color. |
|
|

Now lets save your note.
 |
Tap the save icon and you have
three options for saving your work: |
|
|
|
1) Save as a new BlockNote |
|
|
|
2) Save as a new background image |
|
|
|
3) Save your session files. One
session at a time can be saved for reloading. See
BlockNote Editor. |
