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

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>

hi 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.

Elenor what I meant to say is, when you hit the full stop keep hitting the
star and you should get the punctuation you need.

Mike I have taken on board what you say re the punctuation, number 1
followed by the 's' and it works a dream. 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. Some

of these are not spoken by Talks.  I am perplexed by what Susan says re
using the right arrow to make her choice of punctuation as I am unable to do

this 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 and
even another phone list for the blind, never heard that one before.

That's good Susan.
When you hit the full stop then just hit the star key and you'll come
across
comma questionmark exclamation mark and so on, when you find what you want
just continue on writing.
Hope this helps.
Give it a shot,.
Mike.

Susan I have N 75 when I want to put in a ' I hit the number one key
which
is a full stop then I put in the letter s and it turns the full stop into
a
'.
As simple as that. ----Original Message-----

Susan,

It may be possible for you to go beyond the number keys, e.g., pressing
a
key five, six, or even seven times, may produce a symbol (such as the
apostrophe) not available on the ordinary keypad. there's also
predictive
text, but that may not always work correctly!

Why do you have to make a space? That should not be necessary.

hi folks,

I'm using the nokia c5, when I'm writing a text message and go to put in a question mark or any other sign like that, say for instance I'm putting in the word Joe's what I have to do to get the apostrophe in
is

to put in a space after the letter e hit the * and then it will go in to the list of different signs i select my apostrophe then i have to
delete the space.

i do hope this all makes sense, does any one else have this problem?

many thanks

susan
best wishes

Susan
