WHAT TO DO
FIRST
After you turn on your Tablet PC and start Windows XP, you may want to
take the following steps:
• Calibrate the pen.
• Practice using the pen with the Windows Journal (Start>All Pro-
grams>Tablet PC>Windows Journal).
• Complete the Microsoft Tablet PC tutorials.
• Check out the Motion Resources Page.
• Open the Motion Dashboard to quickly access many Tablet PC options.
• Open Microsoft Help and Resources Center page.
• Take the Microsoft Windows XP tour.
Calibrate the Pen
Your pen will function better and you will be more successful using it if you
calibrate it immediately and recalibrate it occasionally. For directions, see
the section "Calibrating the Pen" in Chapter 4 of this User Guide.
Practice Using the Pen
The quickest way to get a feel for using the ink capabilities of the pen is to
open Windows Journal (Start>All Programs>Tablet PC>Windows Journal):
• Change the pen color, point type, and pen tip style; change the colors of
the highlighter and resize it; tap on the eraser and resize it
• Tap the Selection Tool (the lasso); select and move objects on the page
• Add some space using the Insert/Remove Space option
Here are some additional hints. For others, see the section "Using the Pen" in
Chapter 4 of this User Guide:
• When you write with the pen, you can rest your hand or arm anywhere
on the display without disturbing any open programs or damaging it.
• Watch the cursor instead of the pen tip when you write. The cursor is a
guide for your pen movements. If it does not align with the pen tip, you
should recalibrate the pen.
• Practice writing and learn how firmly and where to tap on the Tablet PC
display. You need these skills for activating programs, menus, or other
Tablet PC functions.
• The pen can be held like any other writing tool. Learn how to hold it and
when and how to press the function button on the pen, which activates
right-click options (such as pop-up menus).
