MAKING BEST
USE OF THE
TABLET PC
INPUT PANEL
The Tablet PC Input Panel keyboard and writing areas are key Tablet PC
features you will use constantly to:
• Enter passwords
• Type titles in Journal documents
• Write or type E-mail messages
• Perform other writing tasks
1. Open the Tablet PC Input Panel by tapping the icon, shown here.
2. With another application active, such as a password window, a Jour-
nal document, or Outlook, write or type on the Input Panel window.
3. After a short delay, your handwriting will be automatically — the
default — sent to the active program.
HINTS FOR
WORKING WITH
THE INPUT
PANEL
Here are some hints about Tablet PC Input Panel:
• Disappearing text — If you don’t have an active application or the
Preview window open, your writing or typing will disappear from the
display in a few seconds. Open one of these to accept your text input.
• Tablet PCs without Microsoft Office — If you don’t have Microsoft
Office installed, these programs, which include Word, Outlook, Excel,
will not accept Input Panel text. However, other programs will,
including Journal, Wordpad, and Notepad.
• Sending drawings — While probably not the best application for
drawings, you can send them from the Input Panel to some
applications (such as Wordpad or Microsoft Word). However, they
don’t transfer to the Text Preview window. If you draw from the Input
Panel with the Text Preview window open, Windows XP tries to
interpret the drawing as text, with unpredictable results.
• Entering passwords — For security and accuracy, we recommend you
use the keyboard on the Input Panel instead of writing this confidential
information where it is clearly visible.
