• Hide the Input Panel — Select the up arrow on the Input 

Panel to hide the panel

• Enlarge the Preview window — From Tools, tap 

Options, and then tap Two lines.

• Relocate the taskbar anywhere on the display — From 

Windows Control Panel, tap Taskbar and Start Menu (Classic View) or 
double-click Appearance and themes (Category View) and then tap 
Taskbar and Start Menu. Uncheck the box beside Lock the taskbar. Tap 
OK and close Control Panel. Now place your pen inside the Taskbar 
and drag it to the sides or top of the display.

• Change the amount of delay to transfer writing, or the thickness of the 

ink — From Tools, select Options.

NOTE: For more information about Tablet PC Input Panel functions, see Tools>Help 
on the Tablet PC Input Panel window.

The Tablet PC Input Panel Keyboard and Writing Pad let you:

• Enter information in other input fields, such as passwords
• Hand write or type entries in Journal documents
• Write or type e-mail messages

1. Open the Tablet PC Input Panel by tapping the icon, shown 

here.

2. With another application active, such as a password entry field, a 

Journal document, or Outlook, write or type the desired entry on the 
Input Panel window. 

3. By default, after a short delay, your handwriting or typing will be 

automatically sent to the active program. 

Here are some other hints about the Tablet PC Input Panel:

• Disappearing text — If you do not open an active application or the 

Input Panel Preview window, your writing or typing will disappear 
from the display in a few seconds. Open an application (such as 
Microsoft Word) or the Preview window to accept your text.

• Sending drawings — While probably not the best application for 

drawings, you can send them from the Input Panel to some 
applications (for example, Wordpad or Microsoft Word). However, 
they do not transfer to the Text Preview window. If you draw from the 
Input Panel with the Text Preview window open, Windows XP tries to 
interpret the drawing as text and the results are unpredictable.

• Entering passwords — For security and accuracy, we recommend that 

you use the keyboard on the Input Panel instead of writing this 
confidential information where it is clearly visible.
