Adding Shortcuts to Your Galaxy S Home Screen

You can add shortcuts to the items you use most right on the Home screen; this saves you from hunting through menus and apps for what you want. Consider adding the following items as shortcuts:

• Contacts that you frequently call or text

  
  



• Telephone numbers from contacts that you can tap and call

  
  



• Text addresses that allow you to tap and text

  
  



• Directions to a favorite place

  
  



• Folders where you’ve stored Microsoft Office files

  
  

To add shortcuts, follow these steps:

1. From the Home screen, tap the Menu button.

   
   



2. Tap the Add button.

   
   



3. Tap Shortcuts.

   
   



4. Tap the Shortcuts selection you want.

   
   

You can add shortcuts until the seven pages of your extended Home screen are full.
