CREATING
FORMS AND
EDITING THEM
IN WINDOWS
JOURNAL
You can create forms or edit documents from many formats (such as Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, Adobe® Acrobat) by creating a Journal Template. You
can then write on your new “form,” exchange edits with others, or write on
them during a presentation.
1. Create or open the desired document on your Tablet PC.
2. Tap Print.
3. Select the Journal Note Writer as the printer.
4. Tap Print.
5. On the Save As screen, type in a name for the document.
6. Tap Save. By default, this saves your document as a Windows Jour-
nal template (.JNT file) to My Documents/My Notes.
NOTE: Windows Journal may take a few minutes to save, but even multi-page
documents will convert to a Journal Note Writer file.
7. If Windows Journal does not open your document automatically (a
option on the Save as page is checked to “View note” after printing),
then you need to open your Journal document manually.
8. Write with your pen on this document as you would any other Jour-
nal document (fill in your “form” or make your annotations).
9. Save your document with a new file name to preserve your edits.
You can reuse and save this document as many times as you want.

INFORMATION
Sticky Notes provide a convenient way to store information like names,
phone numbers, simple maps, or other information that you would normally
put on a paper note. And since they are electronic, you can export them to
other programs. Sticky Notes are kept in a numbered stack that you can
browse through and discard when you are through with them.
