Sorry, Ernie. I seem to have missed your post from yesterday for some
reason. Have you tried using Windows Journal on the Tablet PC? It might be
a good alternative for you, for at least ease of use, because there is a
Send to Email Recipient option on the File menu, offering choices of a
Journal note for people with the Journal Viewer, Web page (can be read in
Internet Explored 5.0 and later) and a black and white .tif image. And you
could also Copy/Paste your Ink directly into an email program like Outlook
Express.

And you might also want to look at the Tablet Experience Pack
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en)
which includes the Ink Desktop for easy note-taking. Before installing,
take a look in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Experience Pack directory for
the readme.htm file which has removal notices on certain portions (like the
first verison of the Snipping Tool) before installing the newer one.
