Input Panel

In order to enter text, you first display a document in an application like Microsoft Word, and then input your text via the Input Panel. You can send your input to the document as text or as handwriting (which is also termed ink). / Display the Input Panel: Docked
1.  Tap the Input Panel icon on the Windows taskbar.
Display the Input Panel: Floating
1.  Position your cursor in a document.
2.  Tap the Input Panel icon that appears to ‘float’ on your document.
You can also wave your pen over the screen rapidly (horizontally) and the Input Panel will display. This is called a gesture.

As you are writing, a preview of how the Input Panel interpreted the handwritten text is shown beneath the written text.

If a word is recognized as incorrect simply tap the word to see correction options.

You can:

·  Select another word from a list of alternatives:

·  Correct the spelling of the word one letter at a time.

·  Save the word into your personal dictionary, or

·  Delete the text.

Character Pad

The Character Pad is great for entering text one letter at a time in these spaces. This can be useful when you want to enter items such as e-mail or Web site addresses, abbreviations, passwords, or file names.

You can also easily correct individual letters. Simply point your pen to the incorrect character; an arrow appears beneath the letter than, when tapped, will display a list of possible alternatives for the character.

Multi-line Writing

The Input Panel automatically expands and adds more lines to accommodate additional handwriting. This enables you to continuously enter handwriting without having to repeatedly insert the text to start a new line.

The time that elapses between when you finish writing and when the text is actually sent to the document can be adjusted. This is done via the Tools menu in the Input Panel. / Adjust Send Text Delay Time
1.  Tap the Tools icon.
2.  Tap the Options command.
3.  On the Writing Pad tab, adjust the delay in the Automatic Text Insertion section using the slider provided.
4.  Tap the Apply command button.
5.  Tap the OK command button.

On-Screen Keyboard

Typing using the on-screen keyboard is easy, but slow. It isn’t very fun to do either. Keep in mind that there are times which you’ll have to use the on-screen keyboard because using the pen is not an option.

In order for the keyboard to work, an application must be opened first.
Using the on-line keyboard is just like using a standard keyboard. Use the pen to tap the letter, or function key you are interested in pressing. / Open the Keyboard
1.  With the Input Panel open, tap the Keyboard tab in the lower right corner of the panel.

Symbols Pad

There are symbols that people use multiple times a day, but accessing these symbols will take a long time if you must continually tap the Shift key on your keyboard to access the symbol. This is simply a way to speed things up.

You can access the Symbols Pad by tapping the Sym button to the right of the writing pad entry area of the Input Panel. The Symbols Pad stays on your screen until you close it down. / Display the Symbols Pad
1.  Tap the Sym button on the Input Panel title bar.

Number Pad

There is a numbers pad that makes input of numerals easier.

You can access the Number Pad by tapping the Num button to the right of the writing pad entry area of the Input Panel. The Number Pad stays on your screen until you close it down. / Display the Number Pad
2.  Tap the Num button on the Input Panel title bar.
