Software: Sticky Notes
Another extra that Microsoft chose to include in order to make the Tablet PC more appealing is the Sticky Notes application. Sticky Notes functions like an advanced set of Post-it notes. The notepad appears as a rectangular yellow pad and the pen can be used to write in the yellow area. This application is helpful for jotting down quick notes (such as the to do list below). A recorded message can also be attached to each note using the record function at the bottom of Sticky Notes. New pages can be added and old ones viewed by using the navigation arrows at the top of the note pad. The application has no convert to text function but does offer the ability to copy and paste the note information.
Software: InkBall
For the sake of entertainment, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition also comes with a new game. Called InkBall, the game is controlled by the pen. The object of the game is to direct each ball (orange or blue) into the proper hole. The balls' path is determined by drawing lines off which the balls are deflected from. Once hit, the line disappears. The game did prove to be entertaining and an interesting time waster but not much more than that.
Software: Office Tablet Add-on
Using the Tablet Add-on for Microsoft Office XP allows you to take notes using the pen directly into Office applications. Below we used the add-on to make some notes in an existing Word document. The drawings are then embedded in the Word document and can be seen by anyone reading the file with a copy of Word XP.
