Re: Digital Ink in Office 2007 B2TR

Hi Christopher,

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "Do you have Tablet support
installed in Vista?" I looked at the installed features for Windows and
"Tablet PC Optional Componetnts" is checked. Does this mean I've got tablet
support installed?
That should be it...

Also, I'm NOT sure that I have digital ink working. How do I know?

When I write something with the pen on the grapics tablet and then select
the text, right click and select "Convert Handwriting to Text", it converts
just fine. Actually it does quite well because I'm somewhat new at this and
my coordination on the tablet isn't all that great yet.
That conversion feature only works with digital ink (as opposed to ink just drawn). So it seems that you have digital ink working.

I don't know what TIP is. Can you explain?
Open a webbrowser and tap in the address bar. Do you see an icon coming up somewhere around the address bar field (it floats)? If yes, click it and that is TIP (Tablet Input Panel I think is what it stands for). It works in any application anywhere where you can enter anything.

Which Vista build are you using?
