Terry / Bob,
as promised I went thru this sequence tonight: -
Offloaded Office
Reloaded from Disc...result = working Writing Pad. And Icon for it appears
on the language bar.
Cold booted out, restarted & relaunched Word...result OK.
Went to MS site, downloaded a Junk Email filter.
Writing pad still working.
Cold booted out, restarted & relaunched Word, still working.
Back to MS site, downloaded Office SP3.
As the language bar remains on my desktop, I could see the Icon for writing
pad stayed there all through the installation.
When asked to restart the Computer, clicked yes.
After restart, no Icon on the bar....and you guessed, relaunched Word and no
icon nor did it work.
So, it's an SP3 problem. It may also have been an SP2 problem. Did SP2
come out in the last year?......it's been about a year since I used
Handwriting recognition. The fault could have been there without me noticing
it.
I have also just gone via Control Panel and add/remove programmes etc,
changed the Alternative user.....and set Handwriting to "Run from my
computer". I was prompted for the disc, and some cabinet files were
loaded...the first one being SKU011.cab. The remainder shot past too quickly.
So, now I'm going to repeat the above but not download SP3! Tiresome!

Have you run CCLeaner since reinstalling Office as it is a known problem

Bob, I think the SP3 route will lead everyone down the wrong path.
Following
SP3 load, I had the same problem as before, in SP2 days.
If I remove Office, reinstall from disc, it is all fine. What I intend to
do maybe tomorrow evening (It's 1am here) is unload office, reinstall,
select
downloads but NOT sp3.....that will illiminate or prove it.
I have not used the Handwriting recognition in a year, but I need it now,
that's when I noticed it had stopped working.
As for Updates..all I update is MS (Weekly), AVG free (Daily), AVG anti
spyware (Daily) and CCleaner about every 3 months. These have been my
downloads for years and the HW recog. worked with these in the past.
I always restart PC after updates from MS.

Hi Paul,
Your previous reply indicated that the problem seemed to 'turn off' when
you installed updates? What updates MS or others have you
applied and did you test the handwriting feature after each one?
Did you restart the PC before or after applying updates?

Terry, I will call or Email MS, but don't forget, the fault was there
