The icon appears automatically when you rest the pen near the field that you want to complete, such as the "To" field in a new Microsoft Outlook e-mail message, or when you tap the location on the screen where you want to insert text, for example, in the middle of a paragraph in a Microsoft Office Word 2003 document.

You can move Input Panel anywhere on the screen by using the move handle, which appears at the far right side of Input Panel. Or, you can dock Input Panel—that is, set it to appear at the top or bottom of the screen. When docked, Input Panel is always available and does not cover any open windows.

Input Panel offers three entry modes—the writing pad, the character pad, and the on-screen keyboard.
