Yes but you did not answer my question Roslyn.  I asked if you did it a 
different way other than going to Edit and inputting that way, what was your 
alternative way that will not work now?

  Hi Eleanor,

  Nope my phone used to allow me to do this a different way and I can't figure 
out why in the last couple of weeks it won't let me do this anymore.

      Hi Eleanor,

      It was one I knew how to do already but somebody did post it as a 
suggestion when I mailed with my query.  if you go into the contact, press key 
one and on the list of options here is edit.  If you select this it will allow 
you to scroll through the items character by character.

          Hi Eleanor,

          Sorry I'm not on Skype.  It's not that important though.  I just 
can't figure out what happened.

            Roslyn I wonder if someone at NCBI, maybe the person who deals with 
Talks, could give you a call and try and resolve this issue.  I know a lady in 
Northern Ireland who might help talk yhou through some things but the problem 
might be cost of telephone calls.  Are you on Skype?  Some of the people on the 
Talks list are on Skype and might be prepared to talk you through it.

              Hi Eleanor,

              Not sure.  This is the most problematic thing I've had to deal 
with on my phone.  I've gotten resolutions to all my other problems via this 
list.  There is another way I can do what I'm trying to do.  I just can't 
figure out why this way won't work anymore when it used to.

              I haven't resolved this yet.  I live in Portarlington.  There is 
a phone shop here but it is not one of the bigger ones and I don't think they 
are particularly experienced with talks.

                Sorry about that roslyn.  Would you consider joining the Talks 
list.

                  Hi Eleanor,

                  I haven't resolved the problem yet.  Yeah I have it set to 
character.

Phone Query


                    If you are holding yhour phone facing you with the numbers 
in a vertical or portrait position, screen rotation turns the text on the 
screen to landscape.  If that is the case you would probably want to turn your 
phone on its side but that would be awkward for using the keypad.  However if 
it is turned off, particularly for visually impaired users it stops Talks 
getting somewhat confused at times.  I just thought that might have been 
another idea to try and resolve your problem.  Did you manage to resolve it 
roslyn?  Did you ensure that you had not reverted the cursor to original mode 
and that it was on character so that you could move across the contacts fields. 
 I trust you know how to do this.  You press Talks key and then hold down the 
number two for a few seconds.  It will say somethng like Word.  If you do not 
want word at a time press Talks key again and long press number 2 on the keypad 
and it will say either original or character.  There are the 3 positions.  You 
want character.  Let me know if you are still stuck and we can try and think of 
something else.

                      Hi Eleanor,

                      Thanks for this.  I couldn't find the exact setting on my 
phone.  What does screen rotation do?

                        hi Joan-Anne I am wondering if you ever resoved your 
problem re contacts.  In case not please try this also.

                        Go to the menu, Tools, Settings, General, Display, then 
down to Screen Rotation.  You will probably find this is set to auto. Press the 
square joypad to change it, and turn it off.  Back out of the settings.



                        Note on my N96 I had to go from General to Profiles to 
display but I am sure you will be able to work around this on your particular 
model of phone Joan-Anne.
