• Options. Opens the Options window, where you can change many of
the finer aspects of the pen and its usage in the TIP. There is also a link
to Help that is specifically for the Tablet PC TIP.
Using the writing pad. As you write, the software selects the best match
for a word from its dictionary of words and displays it on screen. Tap on a
word to select it.
In the following example, either handwrite directly over the incorrect
character or tap the character to open a list of alternatives (as shown here:
O, 0, a, 6). You can erase a word you have just written, by rapidly scratching
back and forth over it.
The writing/character pad expands to show Numbers (Num) or Symbols
(Sym) toolbars, whose symbols are inserted immediately in the text entry
area as you select them. Then, when you begin to handwrite on the writing
or character Pad, the Num or Sym toolbar closes.
Using the character pad. Use the character pad for acronyms, equations,
or other entries that require individual letters, numbers, or symbols that the
writing pad may interpret incorrectly. Some examples include the following:
~<!<@<#<$<%<^ and*()_+<>{}[] \ /. Symbols/letters are displayed in a text
equivalent that you can individually correct by:
• Handwriting over the text equivalent in each character space
• Clicking on the arrow under the letter and selecting an alternative from
the drop-down menu
