Don, you can also go into contacts. Select a contact and double tap with 1 finger. When that contact entry opens, down toward the bottom of the hole thing will be buttons. One of which will be send message. See if that's any easier for you.

I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone
hasn't met me yet.

There, you'll find free files of my arrangements and performances played on
the Yamaha Tyros 1 keyboard. The albums in Technics format formerly on my website are still available upon request. Thanks for listening!

Subject: Text message question


I feel so foolish asking such a rudimentary question.  I am certain that
the problem is a lack of my understanding rather than a software glitch
or technical problem.  At any rate, here goes.

My contact list at present has perhaps 30 entries.  I have checked each
for accuracy.  The problem is present regardless of which contact I select.

When I go into messages, select compose, select to, and then enter the
name of a contact to whom I wish to send a text, I see the name and
phone number of the selected contact; however, I do not see the word
"message" on which I want to double tap so as to type the body of the
text.  Instead, the IOS keyboard shows as if I were wanting to edit the
contact.

Conversely, if instead of typing the contact's name in the compose field
I type the phone number, I then can select the word "message" so as to
type the body of the text.  I wish I had verbalized this better, but
please someone tell me what I am missing.  It may be painfully obvious,
but not to me.  Incidentally, this is an iPhone 4 running IOS 7.1.1.
Thanks in advance.

Don Roberts
