iOS5 Tips and Tricks

[Cupcakequeen]

By going to General>Keyboard>Intermational keyboard, it is possible to select different language keyboards, including, if you have the apps installed, emoticon keyboards {I use Emoji, I'm sure there are many others}. You don't change the keyboard language, you add them, so when you have your keyboard displayed, there is a small globe icon on it and that is how you switch between languages in normal use.

Thanks so much. Something else I can now do.....can't wait to use it.

Great tip on how to split the keyboard. Does anyone know how it can be made larger. There would plenty of room in landscape mode.

I'm not sure what you mean here, are you trying to get back to the normal keyboard from the emoticon one? Press the tab on the bottom line left of the space bar it's round and has a grid on it like a world map icon.

When you go to the keyboards up the top on the right there is an Edit tab, press this then you can delete it.

If you are referring to Gabriel1's post, then it is to make the fonts in the iPad Forum app, bigger for us oldies who's eyesight is starting to go
