Thanks for trying to help Chris.

I mean to say - that Works 8 spreadsheet allows the text entry
window icon to undock and permit individual cells to except
input and also anyway where else you would expect to be able
to do this in the entire Works package but not on the word
processor page. Doesn't this mean that the program Microsoft
Works 8 is ink aware? And that it is context aware in all but this
one place?

I purchased this Toshiba tablet PC package because It came bundled
with Works 8. The suggestion IS that it is ink aware. Was I being baited?
I don't know. It was also very difficult to find out that OneNote will only
work with the latest MS office Suite and not Office 2000. No one
seemed anxious to tell me that either. I feel I am being herded towards
buying the latest MS office suite. My first mission is a technical one.
