Hi Diedre, Often, the delete button is on the very right edge fairly near the bottom, to the right of the p and slightly down. It works like the backspace in that it deletes the character you are on and then to the left. The exception is when you are typing a phone number in the dial pad when the delete key is on the right bbut fairly near the top of the screen slightly above the first row of numbers. The dictate button is often to the left of the spacebar whenyou are in an edit field or in a file where you can input.
Be patient with yourself as you learn! I had to learn the iPad for work before getting an iPhone and I truly thought I was going to throw the thing through myoffice window more than a few times (smile)! Terrie From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Deidre Muccio Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2014 10:05 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: hallelujah- I'm getting there I had a cup of coffee late in the day yesterday and was up until 2 AM playing with the iPhone. I found the Music app and saw the free stuff you could listen to, or buy, courtesy I Tunes. The categories and playing screen was pretty easy to navigate - I hope they change that up sometimes. Maybe if I hit the like button on things I really like, it will influence what it will show me? I went to Safari and was overwhelmed. I Hit on item chooser but had forgotten how to go through the alphabetized list I had read about. When I saw the search field in Music as well as Safari, I tried typing, and voila, I could do it. Only thing is I could not find the equivalent of a back space button for deleting misspelled characters. I guess I'll go into settings and check auto correct which normally I don't like. I was pretty sure there was also a dictate button or a way to use Siri to tell it what you wanted to search for, but I didn't get that going. It's back to Dresner for a second or third read. Today might be a very welcome breakthrough day. Yesterday I looked at reviews on Amazon for the blue tooth headset some recommended here. It was the $100 (down to $79) most recent model by Plantronics. There were some definite drawbacks. One drawback of on-line shopping is that you don't know exactly what you've got until it is in hand. Unfortunately, there are no computer stores within walking distance of where I live. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
