Hi Eleanor
i've just had a look together with a sighted person to confirm this....
and it souns like you hav activated the hand writing mode.
Looking at this on my N97 classic this is activated as follows
1. When you are in a message and hav the touch keypad up there is a item
called change keyboard up near the top left of the screen which talks reads
when touched.
2. Pressing this change keyboard button then produces a option to choose
between handwriting or alpha numeric keyboard - this is not read by talks so
i can only assume you hav managed to trigger it somehow.
When this handwriting keyboard is up, to get rid of it do the following -
1. Press key2 for vack
2. Then after doing that the change keyboard button appears above it
3. Press this change keyboard button which is now located directly above
key2.
You should now hav the numeric keypad back and if you leave with that as
last used it should always be the one which comes up.
Hope this helps
cheers
Pete

One thing frustrating me when I go to write a text message is a screen
coming up which would appear to relate to someone hand-writing within a
large text box. The letter or word written then appears in type form
further up the screen on what looks like lined writing paper. The symbols
are on the right of the screen in the area of this hand-writing pad. Is
there any way I can get rid of this hand-writing pad and ensure that the
text screen with alphabet or numeric pad comes up instead. I find if I keep
tapping arouond I can bring up these screens but I do not actually know what
I am tapping to achieve this so am hoping that someone knows and can inform
me correctly. I appreciate that many users of N97 and N97 Mini may be using
the physical keyboard. I can use this OK but I want to learn the touch
screen. Trouble is when i try asking a sighted person, rather than explain
to me what is going on they tend to just find the screen I want and when I
ask them what they did, they say somethng like 'oh I forget, I just did' and
do not appear to be able to articulate just what they did.
