The Options button displays a picker from which the user can access options for
various preferences. The items included in this picker vary according to whether
the printed or cursive recognizer is enabled. When the cursive recognizer is enabled,
this picker provides the Text Editing Settings, Handwriting Settings, Letter Shapes,
and Fine Tuning items. When the printed recognizer is enabled, this picker provides
only the Text Editing Settings and Fine Tuning items. Because the system provides
