Pen Input and Handwriting Tips

Hold the pen as if you are writing with a pencil or a pen.
Position your hand on the pen so that you will not accidentally press the
pen buttons.
As you monitor the movements of the pen, focus on the pointer on the
screen, not on the tip of the pen.
To select an item on the screen as you would with the left button of a
mouse, tap the item with the tip of the pen.
To double-click an item on the screen as you would with the left button of
a mouse, tap the item twice with the tip of the pen.
To select an item as you would with the right button of a mouse, press and
hold down the pen button on the shaft of the pen, then tap the item with
the tip of the pen.
To use the pen as an eraser in compatible programs, turn over the pen
and move the eraser end across the tablet screen.
Write on the solid line, not above or below it, using cursive or printing.
Use mixed-case letters, not all uppercase.
Write letters clearly, use even spacing between letters and words,
complete each letter, and close up the tops of letters.
Try not to overlap letters or rows of writing, and avoid adding another word
before one you have already written.
Avoid symbols where possible. Write symbols without slanting them, or
insert symbols using the symbols pad.
Avoid doodles, scribbles, or diagrams in the Writing Pad.
