Help Desk - iPhone Tips

These tips were written by Tom Mighell: "For the next two weeks, I'll be featuring tips for the iPhone users out there.  If you don't have an iPhone but know someone who does, pass these great tips along to them.

- Ever have the need for an international keyboard?...

- More of you may need to add special symbols - they're on your keyboard, but you need to know how to dig for them...

- Here's how to add a sentence-stopping shortcut to your typing.  Go into Settings, then General, then Keyboard, and make sure the toggles next to "Auto-Capitalization" and "." Shortcut are turned on...

- Here's a much easier way of adding punctuation to text, instead of going back and forth between the letter and number/punctuation keyboards.  The next time you want to add punctuation while you're typing, press and hold the "123" key, then without removing your finger (or thumb) from the keyboard, slide it over to land on what you want to insert.  As soon as you release your finger from the screen, the symbol is entered, and you'll be automatically taken back to the alphabet keyboard.

Do you have a question about searching the Internet or your computer in general? Drop me a line at tom(at)inter-alia(dot)net -- I'll post your question (don't worry, I won't use your real name) and try to get an answer for you!
