Chapter 04: Using Your Sahara Slate PC with Windows XP

Entering Text with the Input Panels (Tablet PC Edition only)

Complementing Microsoft’s Digital Inking handwriting
recognition technology, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition features
input pads that accept and convert handwriting to text, as well
as provide a more compact and convenient on-screen keyboard.

Tap the “Keyboard” icon located next to the START button on the
Windows Taskbar to display the on-screen keyboard and writing
pads. These input tools allow you to enter information directly
into any application that accepts standard keyboard inputs.

Writing Pad

This pad allows you to enter text on a word-by-word basis. You
write on the lines inside the writing pad just as you would write
on a lined piece of notepaper. When you reach the end of the
line, the pad will expand automatically so you can keep on
writing without having to stop. Windows will convert your
handwriting into text, on the fly, and then insert it in the
appropriate location when you tap “Insert”.

Character Pad

This pad accepts input on a character-by-character basis and is
useful for entering information that requires a higher level of
precision, such as passwords, website URLs or e-mail addresses.
When you reach the end of the line, the pad will expand
automatically so you can keep on writing without having to stop.
Windows will convert your handwriting into text, on the fly, and
