Entering Text
You can use handwriting recognition or the touch keyboard to enter text. The writing pad
and character pad have a number pad, a symbol pad, and web quick keys to help you
quickly and accurately enter these types of text. These quick keys are hidden when you
start to write, but appear after you insert or delete your writing. The following table
displays the Input Panel icons and their functions.
Icon Name Function
Hand The writing pad and character pad convert handwriting into typed text.
writing You can write continuously on the writing pad, like writing on a piece
recog of lined paper. Use the character pad to enter one character at a time.
nition The character pad converts your handwriting to typed text, one letter,
number or symbol at a time, but doesn't take the context of the full
word into account and doesn't take advantage of the handwriting
dictionary. To switch to the character pad in Input Panel, tap Tools,
and then write character by character
Touch The touch keyboard is like a standard keyboard, but you enter text by
keybo tapping the keys with your tablet pen or finger.

Pen Flicks
Pen flicks allow you to use the pen to perform actions that normally require a keyboard,
such as pressing <Page Up>or using the directional arrow keys. Pen flicks are quick,
directional gestures. When a pen flick is recognized, the Tablet PC performs the action
assigned.
