Keep using your green friend and you'll be amazed lots of times. One=20
example: when taking notes, instead of using Text (the button with a=20
capital A on the bottom of the screen) try usin Ink Text (a handwritten=20=
"a" that can be chosen on the same spot).
After you finish taking your notes select all the text (tap and hold on=20=
the beginning of the text to be selected then drag to the end of the=20
selection). Now double-tap over the selected text. It will change to=20
Text.
It really amazed me the first time I got it to work :)
