I am having two problems with my TabletPC input panel, usually happening in
Word but also in outlook and Internet explorer. They only stop if I restart
my computer. Closing & reopening the program does not fix them. I also have
a problem w/ the input panel dictionary.
One problem is that, randomly, parts of the input panel stop recording what
I write, no handwritten words show up, and the "text translation" is a bunch
of ellipses. For example, I can write 3 words on a line but once I get to the
half-way point on a line it stops picking up the pen, as if there's a "dead
zone". If I drag the input panel to somewhere else on the screen it will
start working again, the dead zone is localized, although it's not always in
the same place & often doesn't exist at all.
Second problem is that, again randomly, the panel will work great to pickup
my writing & translate it in the panel, but when I push "insert" the text
just disappears. This is not due to my cursor b/c its in the right spot and
if I switch to keyboard mode on the panel I can "type" into the document, or
if I use the real keyboard I can type, but it will not insert text. This is
very frustrating b/c I lose everything I've written, and once it starts the
handwriting input panel "insert" button usually won't work in any program
until I restart the computer. Even if I switch to the "docked" input panel it
doesn't work.
Also, a small problem w/ the dictionary. I will add a word & a week later I
have to add it again. At first I thought there were just two separate
dictionaries between the docked panel and the floating one, but that's not
it. Is the program limited to a certain number of personalized words & then
it starts overriding previously added ones?Are people working on fixing these
glitches? Is there something I can do?
I love my tablet and use it all day in class, but these glitches result in
me losing info and falling behind when the teacher is lecturing quickly. I
shouldn't have to restart my computer (Gateway M280) in the middle of class.
Any help is much appreciated.
