Hi Ron,
If you're in Word 2002 there is a download that extends Office XP to support inking. If you're in Word 2003 it's an optional
installation feature (Alternative Input) from the MS Office choice in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel.
If you're in Office 2007, this feature no longer works in desktop Windows version, but does work in the Windows Tablet PC version.
==============
I understand you are supposed to be able to write in documents with a pen using a pen tablet. How do you turn that function on?>>
