Chapter 4 Using Your Motion Tablet PC

Input Panel Text Preview Window

The Tablet PC Input Panel Writing Pad has an optional Text Preview window (opened from the Tools menu) that lets you see a text transcription of what you have written before you send it to an active application. You can send your text to this preview window at any time by tapping Send. Otherwise, there is a built-in delay to send the text. (You can change the delay period from the Tools>Options menu from 1/4 second to 10 seconds.)

“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 an application, such as Notepad, Wordpad, or Microsoft Word (or any Microsoft Office application).

NOTE: Without a second application open to accept the ink input, the input will disappear from the Tablet PC Input Panel.

4.Tap the down arrow beside Send.

5.Enable Send as Ink. (If the application you have open does not accept ink input, this option will be grayed out, as shown here.)

6.Create the text or simple drawing you want to send as ink.
