PEN AND DIGITAL INK CAPABILITIES IN WINDOWS VISTA
Microsoft Windows Vista provides extensive support for pen* and touch input. When using the pen tablet
with a computer running Windows Vista, your experience is enhanced by powerful note taking, handwriting
recognition, fast navigation, and other digital inking options designed to give you quick, intuitive results with
the Graphire pen.
• Note taking. Use your Graphire pen to jot notes and capture quick sketches in Microsoft Journal.
Journal simulates a physical notebook, but with the advantages of digital note taking – you can choose
from a variety of pen, marker, and highlighter tools, plus an eraser that is easily activated by the eraser
end of your Graphire pen. Journal also includes a powerful search engine that can even locate your
handwritten content.
• Handwriting recognition. Because Windows Vista includes powerful handwriting recognition
capabilities, you can use your Graphire pen to quickly enter handwritten information anywhere the
computer accepts typed input. You can convert your handwritten content to typed text at any time.
• Gestures. Use your Graphire pen to make simple gestural movements on the tablet to trigger
customizable actions for navigation, editing, and other functions. To customize your gestures, select the
F
LICKS tab in the PEN AND INPUT DEVICES control panel.
• Digital Ink in Microsoft Office 2007. Use your Graphire pen to full advantage with the enhanced digital
mark-up and inking tools available in Microsoft Office 2007 applications running on Windows Vista.
Found on the R
EVIEW tab within applicable applications, these tools provide a consistent set of inking
options. For quick access, you can add specific inking tools to the Quick Access Toolbar located at the
top of each application.
Note: The following workarounds in the pen tablet driver improve drawing performance in Vista:
• The Vista Pen Flicks and Press-and-hold-to-right-click features are disabled in graphics applications
using the Wintab API.
• There is no pressure sensitivity in Journal and other Vista Ink features when both the Flicks and Press-
and-hold-to-right-click features are disabled in the Vista P
EN AND INPUT DEVICES control panel.
* Pen features supported in all versions of Windows Vista except Vista Home Basic.
