There seems to be a bug in organizing the Extras bar on the Revo. If you want to have the programs displayed from the Agenda to the Extras icon in this order: Program A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, then under the Extras Bar Settings, the programs must be ordered as such: Program A, B, C, D, F, G, E, H
| Programs Displayed: | A |
B | C | D | E | F | G | H | | Program Ordering: | A | B | C | D | F | G | E | H | | Icons: | Contacts | Agenda | Email | Phone | Time | Calc | Jotter | Extras |

To see a list of the applications running at any given time, press the upper right corner of the screen where the file/application name is located. Closing down non-essential programs will free up memory space and allow the Revo to run faster.
: : emergency shutdown of a program : :
To kill a running application that freezes, bring up the list of running applications (see above tip) and press CTRL + SHIFT + E. Pressing this command also works within the program if you cannot bring up the list of running applications.
: : hidden folders : :
A great way to secure your files is to hide them. Highlight the document and go to File, Properties. (or press CTRL + P). They will not appear on your desktop or when you search for them.
To find them, go to the general menu, Tools, then Preferences (or press CTRL + K). Check the "Show Hidden Files" to find the hidden file.

: : taking screenshots : :
In any program, taking screenshots is easy. Simply press CTRL + SHIFT + FN + S, and save it. To convert the file to a more appropriate picture type, use XNView or MBMView. To convert the file into EPOC picture type or a Sketch file, go to Sketch, File, More, and Merge in. Then, select the screenshot you just took and press OK.

: : multimedia : :
: : creating own alarms : :
On your PC or Mac, locate your sound recorder if you would like to record your voice for an alarm and save it as a .wav file. If you want to convert a song from MP3 into .wav, use a converting utility or just hold your pc's microphone in front of the speaker (a proper distance away to avoid the "squealing") and record the song while playing as a .wav file. Load this file into your Revo, and you should be able to select it as one of the alarms.
: : playing MP3 files : :
For those people who like high quality MP3 music on their Revo, there is a nifty program called EPlayM that allows users to play MP3 files on the Revo.
: : playing .wav sound : :
If you have a .wav file on the Revo that you want to listen to, use RevoSound as your audio player. Even though the sound quality from the Revo is comparable to that of a radio speaker, this program is useful for those who like to have music wherever they go.
