Hi all

I have a student and teacher edition of microsoft office 2003, a wacoom bamboo digital tablet and a problem.

Basically i can get it to write in word, but write anywhere does not work, only works if i use the drawing box thing, so whats wrong, i have no idea where to start.

Second, im looking for knowledge into handwriting recognition for office 2003, i basically want to set it up so when i write cat it will type cat, i know it can be done becaus ei have seen it, but again, no idea where to start.

Any help in either section would be appreicated

Chris

I think Write Anywhere is only available on Windows Tablet PC - I understand you are running Windows only?

Tablet aware applications should work fine with external tablets - such as OneNote. For other applications you use the box or you could use an application like Ritepen.

Write Anywhere is indeed only available for Tablet PC OS, but you can still use the handwriting recognition feature of Office 2003.  This how-to might help you to install it if you haven't done so already.

yeah i did that, i followed all the walkthroughs on M$ websites, ritepen works but its incerdibly slow and inaccurate at handwriting recognition, anyone know of a better one, mayby one you have to teach it your writing? i googled but just recieved links on making your handwriting available as a font.
