36 Chapter 04: Using Your Sahara NetSlate with Windows XP
Entering Text with Windows XP’s On-Screen Keyboard
One of Windows XP’s accessibility features is an on-screen
keyboard applet that allows you to input text and to execute
standard function key combinations. While not as full-featured
as other keyboard emulation applications, or even the Windows
XP Tablet PC Edition On-Screen Keyboard (see the next sec-
tion), it does provide most of the standard functionality of an
externally-attached keyboard.
To access the keyboard, open the START menu and choose “All
Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > On-Screen Keyboard”.
The On-Screen Keyboard can be set to emulate different styles
of keyboards and to always be on top of all open application
windows. It can even be customized with your choice of font
face and font size. Standard modifier key combinations can also
be used within any application. For example, to open a new
blank document while working in MS Word, simply tap on the
<Ctrl> key and then on the <N> key.
Entering Text with the Eyesboard™ Virtual Keyboard
A more feature rich and customizable keyboard that comes with
your Sahara NetSlate is the Eyesboard Virtual Keyboard. Eyes-
board features a full standard keyboard plus optional keypads
and function keypads that you can dock or free float around the
screen. You can adjust the size, position, color, opacity and more.
To access the Eyesboard Keyboard, just double-tap on its icon
located on the desktop. For more information on using and
customizing the Eyesboard to suit your tastes and working style,
