How to write in Microsoft Excel or Word files
In order to use the Tablet PC features in these applications, you must
obtain the Microsoft Office XP Pack for Tablet PC. This is available
only from Microsoft's website. If you use the pen to write in Microsoft
Word or Excel, and you are sharing the file with another user who does
not have Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, they will be able to see the
ink comments if they are using Office 95 or a newer versions. However
they will not be able to do anything with the document such as editing
in ink, etc.
