Pen writing tool does not work

[Daniel C]

Hello,
I have installed OneNote 2007 few weeks ago on XP sp2 (up to date).
My "pen" writing tool doesn't write anything, but i can draw circle !

I tried "repair office" with "add/remove program", and desactivite all the
plugin, but it is similar.

Have you a solution,

Thanks.

Can you clarify?

You can't do anything with the pen, or you can't write anything and have
that treated as text but you can otherwise draw a circle?

Can you describe your hardware setup? You mention running XP SP2 but do
not mention if you are running on a Tablet PC or if you are using an
external digitizing tablet.

If you are not running the specific version of XP designed for the Tablet
PC hardware, you won't be able to write anything and have OneNote treat it
as text.

Hello Erik,
I have only a mouse on my windows XP desktop (with no tablet pc), i can't
write anything with the pen tool, but i can use the triangle or rectangle
tool.

Am I clear ?
