Entering Text with the Tablet PC Input Panel
Complementing Microsoft’s Digital Inking handwriting recogni-
tion technology is a special application called the Tablet PC Input
Panel that accepts, and then converts handwriting into text, as
well as provides a compact and convenient on-screen keyboard.

Typically the Input Panel sits docked just off the left side of
your screen. Tap the edge of the panel to display the on-screen
writing pad and keyboard. These input tools allow you to enter
information directly into any application that accepts standard
keyboard inputs.

NOTE FOR DIGITIZER USERS: By default, when using an Active

Digitizer, the panel will be hidden until you bring the tip of the stylus

near the screen. The edge of the panel will sit, just visible, at the edge

of the screen. Hovering your pen over that edge of the Input Panel will

cause it to slide out a bit making it easier to activate.

When using an application which is pen aware (at this time, most
are) simply tapping where you would like to enter text will place
an I-beam cursor and display a tool tip icon of the Input Panel.
Tapping on this icon will open the Input Panel automatically.
