INPUT PANEL

HINTS FOR

WORKING WITH

THE INPUT

PANEL

• Hide the Input Panel — Select the up arrow on the Input Panel to hide the panel

Enlarge the Preview window — From Tools, tap Options, and then tap Two lines.

Relocate the taskbar anywhere on the display — From

Windows Control Panel, tap Taskbar and Start Menu (Classic View) or double-click Appearance and themes (Category View) and then tap Taskbar and Start Menu. Uncheck the box beside Lock the taskbar. Tap OK and close Control Panel. Now place your pen inside the Taskbar and drag it to the sides or top of the display.

Change the amount of delay to transfer writing, or the thickness of the ink — From Tools, select Options.

NOTE: For more information about Tablet PC Input Panel functions, see Tools>Help on the Tablet PC Input Panel window.

The Tablet PC Input Panel Keyboard and Writing Pad let you:

Enter information in other input fields, such as passwords

Hand write or type entries in Journal documents

Write or type e-mail messages

1.Open the Tablet PC Input Panel by tapping the icon, shown here.

2.With another application active, such as a password entry field, a Journal document, or Outlook, write or type the desired entry on the Input Panel window.

3.By default, after a short delay, your handwriting or typing will be automatically sent to the active program.

Here are some other hints about the Tablet PC Input Panel:

Disappearing text — If you do not open an active application or the Input Panel Preview window, your writing or typing will disappear from the display in a few seconds. Open an application (such as Microsoft Word) or the Preview window to accept your text.

Sending drawings — While probably not the best application for drawings, you can send them from the Input Panel to some applications (for example, Wordpad or Microsoft Word). However, they do not transfer to the Text Preview window. If you draw from the Input Panel with the Text Preview window open, Windows XP tries to interpret the drawing as text and the results are unpredictable.

Entering passwords — For security and accuracy, we recommend that you use the keyboard on the Input Panel instead of writing this confidential information where it is clearly visible.
