Using Graphics Tablet for Text Entry

[emanon]

I am running Win XP Pro, with latest service pack and patches, on a desktop
system. I have a Wacom Intuos Graphics Tablet. No problem with the tablet as
a pointing device, but I'd like to use the stylus for text entry. This would
be similar to how text is entered on a PDA.

Is this possible?

Although there do exist solutions that can read text, as to my knowledge
there is no such package natively available with Windows XP. What you
want is Windows XP Tablet edition.

Hoe does one acquire XP Tablet and does Tablet support Domain Logon? The
latter is more important than writing with a stylus.

There is a solution to handwriting input using a stylus... but you'll need
to buy MS Office, have a look at this
