Inking in Office 2003

[DavidN]

Is there any way to use the inking feature in Office 2003
programs by using an external tablet, rather than with a
Tablet PC? Thanks!

Wacom tablets work - however, I also installed the Tablet PC version of
Windows XP.

Thanks.
I actually installed a Wacom tablet but I didn't get the
inking feature when I installed Office 2003. Do I
definitely need XP Tablet? If so, how do I get it? I
can't seem to find it anywhere.

Check Office setup for inking components that may not have been installed -
Microsoft Shared Components - Microsoft Handwriting Component.

The Tablet PC edition of Windows XP is only available on non-Tablets via
MSDN subscriptions for developer use. It is not recommended for regular use
on non-Tablets .
