Hi
I have Office 2003 Pro on Windows XP. I have set up the drawing/handwriting recognition feature as per KB articles, however, I cannot get the "Write Anywhere" or Writing Pad function to work, nor anything to do with handwriting recognition. I can get the drawing pad to work, but their is not handwriting recognition...I might as well open Paint Brush...about the same functionality.
Do you have to have a Tablet PC OS to make this work?
My Settings in Control Panel are:
Handwriting Recognition
*Drawing Pad
*Write Anywhere
*Writing Pad
But the only one that works is Drawing pad. I click on the check boxes on toolbar for Writing Pad and Write Anywhere, but nothing happens, I can't write on a pad or anywhere else. If I click on the Write Anywhere or Writing pad, nothing happens, even though properties is not greyed out when WP and WA are highligted. If I click on the Add button, handwriting recognition and speech are both greyed out.
From what I've read, you shouldn't need Tablet OS to make these work. My teacher has a Wacom drawing pad that he wants to use with these technologies, but it just aint happening for us here.
Thanks in advance
