•However, other programs will accept text, including Journal, Wordpad, and Notepad.
•Sending drawings — While probably not the best application for drawings, you can send them from the Input Panel to some applications (such as Wordpad or Microsoft Word). However, they don’t 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, with unpredictable results.
•Entering passwords — For security and accuracy, we recommend you use the keyboard on the Input Panel instead of writing this confidential information where it is clearly visible and where handwriting recognition will try to make it into words.
Input Panel Text Preview Window
The Tablet PC Input Panel has a Text Preview window that lets you see a text transcription of what you have written before you send it to an active application:
“Sending as Ink” (Handwriting and Drawings) from the Input Panel
To transfer ink input to another application:
1.Open the Tablet PC Input Panel.
2.Close the Text Preview window by deselecting it in Tools.
3.Open another application, such as Notepad, Wordpad, or Microsoft Word to write your input to. If you don’t open this second applica- tion, your input will disappear from the Tablet PC Input Panel dis- play in a few seconds.
4.Tap the down arrow beside Send.
5.Enable Send as Ink. (If the application you have open doesn’t accept ink input, this option will be grayed out.)
