Leave Commonly-used Applications Open, but Minimized
The alternative to closing an application is to “minimize” it. For example, let’s say you’re writing a letter in Word and you have to interrupt this to enter an appointment into the Calendar. Instead of saving the document and closing the application, you can simply tap on the Word application button on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Word disappears from the screen but is still alive in the memory of the Handheld PC. Go to Calendar, enter your appointment, and then tap again on the Word application button to “maximize” Word. You don’t have to reload the document or search for your place. You’re back exactly where you left off! A quick way to access your applications is to leave them open all the time, but minimized. All you have to do is tap on the appropriate taskbar button and you’re in business. |
