uppercase and lowercase. All the sentences following
the characters ! ? ¿ ¡ and . are capitalised
automatically, unless you have disabled this option in
Control Panel Pen Input settings.
Note that the case of the letter depends on the alphabet
mode you have selected, not on how you write the letter
on the screen. You can write uppercase letters to produce
lowercase letters if the system recognises uppercase
writing more easily. Note also that you cannot select the
AB mode at the beginning of an auto-capitalised word.
Tip: See “Pen input settings” on page 35 for more
auto-capitalisation settings.
