hi Eleanor,I hold the phone slightly above waist height, facing up and I'm looking straight down on it, I'm doing actually what I've been doing with all my other phones and this phone is the only one that is different as regards the punctuation menu.
i don't mind having to arrowing right as i've got used to it now. many thanks susan----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Susan I am perplexed by your phone. Mike's 2 suggestions work fine, I love the apostrophy one and when I hit the number 1 followed by the * I get all the punctuation by down arrow. Now as you keep talking about right arrow I am wondering if this has something to do with the way you hold the phone. Some people hold the phone so that it is on its side but I hold it erect. I can only explain this by saying that for me the * is bottom left but if I held the phone on its side the * would be bottom right. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Curry" <SusanCurry@xxxxxxx>To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2011 10:39 AM Subject: [vip_students] Re: mobile corner, question markhi mike,this also works for me but I have to right arrow first to get it to work, otherwise it just goes in to that option to spell.susan----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Meaney" <mikemean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2011 7:36 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: mobile corner, question markElenor what I meant to say is, when you hit the full stop keep hitting thestar and you should get the punctuation you need.

However if I press the number 1 followed by the * on my C5 (incidentally the same phone as Susan) I get the drop-down menu and have to arrow down through the punctuation options. Someof these are not spoken by Talks. I am perplexed by what Susan says reusing the right arrow to make her choice of punctuation as I am unable to dothis on my C5 and yes the punctuation window just opens down like the word options in predictive text. Well each to his own but thanks for that brill tip. In all the years I have used Talks and been on both Talks lists andeven another phone list for the blind, never heard that one before.----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Meaney" <mikemean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2011 10:59 AM Subject: [vip_students] Re: mobile corner, question markThat's good Susan. When you hit the full stop then just hit the star key and you'll come acrosscomma questionmark exclamation mark and so on, when you find what you wantjust continue on writing. Hope this helps. Give it a shot,.
