Here are some hints about the Tablet PC Input Panel:
• Disappearing text — If you don’t have an active application or the
Input Panel Preview window open, 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.
• Tablet PCs without Microsoft Office Pen Extensions installed— If you
you have Microsoft Office installed but not Pen Extensions, these
programs (Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Excel) will not accept ink.
