Chris,

Thanks for the reply! This tablet belongs to my boss. He was trying to use
the input panel for the first time since the computer was set up for him when
we noticed that the capital F would bring up the search dialog box from the
tablet input panel. The panel is ususally docked at the bottom of the
screen. I should mention that he does have Office 2003 installed. I will
try you suggestions. Thanks again for your time!
