Entering Text

In the message area of the message window—below the Subject field—there is a text box in which you can type your message. This area supports such editing features as Cut and Paste.

Normally a text box is inserted automatically when opening a new message. Should this not be the case, insert the text box doing the following:

  1. Open a new message by selecting New from the Message menu or clicking the corresponding icon on the toolbar.
  2. Select Insert Text from the Edit menu. A text box appears in the message area.
  3. Place the cursor inside the text box and type your message.

Delete text box

To delete a text box with its contents, follow these steps:

  1. Position the cursor inside the text box you want to delete.
  2. Select Delete from the Edit menu. (The DELETE key will not work here.)
