Abstract

System and methods for visually displaying page information in a handwriting recording device such as a personal digital notepad (PDN) device, in which constraints exist which limit the size of a user interface display (e.g. LCD). Various methods allow a user to view detailed page information by selecting one or more available display modes which display the selected information using one or more dynamic icons. In addition, the user can view (via the display) selected portions of handwriting content of a given electronic page, thereby affording the user the opportunity to synchronize the stored handwriting data with the handwritten text.
