Pen and digital ink capabilities in Windows Vista

Microsoft Windows Vista provides extensive support for pen and touch input. When using Cintiq with a
computer running Windows Vista, your experience is enhanced by powerful note taking, handwriting
recognition, fast navigation, and other digital inking options designed to give you quick, intuitive results
with the Wacom pen.

Note taking. Use your Wacom pen to jot notes and capture quick sketches in Microsoft Journal.
Journal simulates a physical notebook, but with the advantages of digital note taking – you can
choose from a variety of pen, marker, and highlighter tools, plus an eraser that is easily activated by
the eraser end of your Wacom pen. Journal also includes a powerful search engine that can even
locate your handwritten content.

Handwriting recognition. Because Windows Vista includes powerful handwriting recognition
capabilities, you can use your Wacom pen to quickly enter handwritten information anywhere the
computer accepts typed input. You can convert your handwritten content to typed text at any time.

Gestures. Use your Wacom pen to make simple gestural movements on the tablet to trigger
customizable actions for navigation, editing, and other functions. To customize your gestures,
select the F

of inking options. For quick access, you can add specific inking tools to the Quick Access Toolbar
located at the top of each application.
