In MS Word 2007, i am trying to use a PC tablet to scribble on the pages, and
write hand written notes on it. The only way i can think of doing this is to
use the draw tool, however each time u finish a stroke, word converts it to a
picture, so you have to re-press the draw tool for every stroke, making it
impossible to write.

I don't want a text recognition program because allot of the notes are
diagrams aswell.

How can i use the PC tablet to simply scribble on word documents?

I would suggest posting your question in a tablet PC newsgroup. The folks
there would know more tablet tricks than a lot of us.

Hello. I'm posting from an account I got off bugmenot.com because I didn't want to make an account.

I recently acquired a tablet, so I've been looking to do the same thing. I do not believe it is possible to do within word. Microsoft has created the OneNote program for that. You could copy and paste into that program, if you have it.

Another option I have come up with is to convert your word file to a Windows Journal file. On my Windows 7 machine, I was able to go to the tools menu and select the option to install the Journal Note Writer printer. You can print anything to this printer, including word documents, and then edit them in Windows Journal. This printer is installed by default on my Windows XP Tablet. Let me know if you need any help!
