Add Ink Annotations Tool Does Not Function

The stylus on my tablet functions fine as a mouse. It also functions fully in
the Windows Journal software.

However, it does not function fully in the MS Office 2003 suite (which came
pre-installed on the tablet.)

The input function works... when the stylus moves to an input area the text
recognition input tool pops up and functions.

However, the "Add Ink Annotations" tool does not function. When it is
selected, it LOOKS as if it is working fine. However, it has no effect on the
stylus. This occurs throughout the Office suite.

What can I do to get this functionality working?

Thanks

Hi Brett,

If you've checked the PC makers website for updated drivers, and have reviewed the following items through the Windows control panel

Add/Remove Programs:
Microsoft Office 2003 listing, [Change] to see if all
of the 'Alternate Input' tools are listed as 'Run from my PC'
in the detailed features change list.

Regional and Language Settings=Languages=Details
'Installed services' lists the Ink and Write/Draw pad items
for your default keyboard/language choice

then you may also want to post in the TabletPC discussion group through the link below.

Hi Bob. Thanks for the response. I've tried looking where you suggested...

Add/Remove Programs:
Microsoft Office 2003 listing, [Change] to see if all
of the 'Alternate Input' tools are listed as 'Run from my PC'
in the detailed features change list.

I have no listing here for "Alternate Input Tools" at all.



Regional and Language Settings=Languages=Details
'Installed services' lists the Ink and Write/Draw pad items
for your default keyboard/language choice

Installed Services does NOT list anything which looks like it refers to my
situation.

I have been to the HP site looking for drivers, posting on their forums,
etc. to no avail. I will check the link you provided and see if anyone is
any help there.

Thanks again for the input.
