How do I hide the keyboard while typing an email?

On the iPad you can hide the keyboard anytime while typing.  I cannot see a way to hide the keyboard when typing a mail message. I saw a post saying you close, save, go to your saved messaes and open the message again - too time consuming.  There is a fix on the jailbroken site, but I dont want to jailbreak the phone.  There must be a way to hide the keyboard in a mail messge.  In a text message you can.  Any help would be appreciated.

Edit
I CAN, but not fully for a preview, as the text box goes up completely after 80 odd characters on the iPhone.
So, now i cannot see a previous message for reference.
Apple needs to incorporate a  'hide keyboard' button

  • How do I hide the cursor while typing?

    I have it turned on in the Windows mouse settings. It hides in all other programs except Firefox. I have Win7 and Firefox 13.0.1

    I have had the same problem despite having Hide Pointer When Typing checked in Mouse Properties. Damn annoying. I thought I finally found a solution with a free utility called "Park Cursor Aside" at http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/parkcursoraside-hide-mouse-cursor-when-typing/.
    Works great in Chrome and everywhere else EXCEPT Firefox. How about it Mozilla, are you are giving me another reason to switch over to Chrome? Please fix this. Thank you.

  • How Do I Hide Mouse Pointer While Typing In Firefox

    Only in firefox, and only recently am I having problems typing anything through firefox, as the slightest touch of my laptops touch pad causes the mouse pointer to jump along with my typing cursor. This is causing major issues as I conduct all y business emails through firefox. If this cant be helped I will have to start using Internet Explorer Again. EVERY other program I use auto hides the mouse while typing, Except FF....
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure, but I believe a week or so ago

  • How do i hide the keyboard

    On my phone the first page is were safari is. When i leave that page the keyboard i left on the screen! It irritating because now I cant open the apps I want because of the keyboard is in the way!!! Allso is there any way to move the pages placement for example: so that page number 1 is page number 4?
    Thanks for help!

    Try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    You can move apps anywhere you want from the phone itself or using iTunes.  See p. 22 of the User Guide... http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • Email window jumps to the background while typing an email

    I am using OS version 10.7.1 and mail version 5.0.  For some reason, and I can't really isolate what is causing it, when I am typing the window will jump to the background.  It seems to occur most often when I am typing an address in the "To" section.  I will just hit a key, and the window will disappear to the background.  I then click "window" and see it and bring it to the front, but it is becoming a real problem.  has anyone else had this problem?  I searched the forums and could find an answer.
    Thanks

    I meant to say, couldn't find an answer in the forums.

    Open Universal Access preferences. Under either the Keyboard or Mouse tab should be a checkbox option to prevent accidental input when typing. If you don't find it there then check in the Trackpad preferences.

    Go into settings -> general -> Bluetooth. Turn Bluetooth on, turn the keyboard on, and select the keyboard on the iPad. Once you've connected to a Bluetooth keyboard, the onscreen keyboard will disappear until you disconnect.

  • Help! How to hide the keyboard in app...

    I was bidding on an item in the free ebay App (provided by Ebay v 1.6.1 and the keyboard would not hide and I could not place a second bid. I had made one successful bid and then on a second bid (about 2 minutes later) the keyboard would not go away and I could not submit the bid - only enter a dollar value. It was beyond frustrating watching the time tick down and not being able to place a bid.
    Please someone tell me how to hide the keyboard. I tried everything I knew how - tapping the screen, shaking the iphone, exiting out and coming back in and refreshing the app. Nothing would get the keyboard to go away and allow me to touch the submit bid button.
    Thanks in advance and SORRY in advance if this is in the wrong forum!

    Well the ability of how the keyboard shows and hides is a function of what the developer of the app made. Sounds like a bug in their program or just bad usability.
    This is a topic to discuss with eBay as they developed the app. Their code has to control how things happen. Normally leaving a field to type in will make it go away, but if they didn't provide a way to leave focus, then that is a usability issue on their part.

  • While typing, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I don't think I am doing something at my own, it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this.

    While i type, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I think it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this please help.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If you have done this like I describe above and the problem continues I suggest you contact Apple Support or make an appointment at an Apple Store and have your iPad examined by a technician.

  • How do you stop the keyboard from covering what you are typing

    How do you stop the keyboard from covering up what you are typing- one of the worst features of the new iOS

    What kind of problems are you having with the iPad?
    If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
    If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
    You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
    if none of those are the issue, reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
