digitizing letters using wilcom ES 6.5 Designer

Hi,I am trying to get to grips with Wilcom. I am using the 'input A' tool to digitize letters of a logo. For example the letter 'N' is 3 separate sections. When I embroider this, it trims at the end of each section. The manual talks of The Continuous Input feature-Select Special > Options and click the General tab, but I cannot find general under options. Am I wrong using this method to digitize letters? Help & advice please.
