I have a recent problem (2 days) with the TIP.
I have a Lenovo X60 running Vista. I recently installed Office 2007.
Two days ago, I believe after a download of upgrades, I experience problems
with the TIP in Word 2007.
The program does not automatically put in spaces between words.
Specifically, after I insert words and then use the TIP again, the program
does not enter a space.
Additionally, when I go to a word, the TIP program does not come up with
another possibility.
I changed the name of the normal.dot program - no help.
This problem unmasks the fragility of what we have, frustrating, at times
painful and certainly time consuming.
I use my tablet as a writer, for conversion of my handwriting to text. So
this is a real problem.
Would appreciate your wisdom and experience.
Thanks

Hi Steve,

TIP has two types of ink entries:
- Writing Pad looks like a line entry, where you can enter ink text
continuosly. That mode should result in space auto-entry in Word when
converted text is inserted.
- Character Pad looks like a grid and is intended for the ink text entry one
letter, number, symbol at a time and should not result in space auto-entry in
Word.

Do you use Character Pad or Writing Pad of the TIP when inking words into
the Word?

Hello Lidia
The problem resolved. I do not know the reason. I did not do anything
special. There was an upgrade download.
I use the writing pad. There was a problem with automatic spacing. It
stopped working after text was inserted. Now working for mysterious reasons.
The only problem I have is one that has been with me for some time. I think
it is a bug. Automatic spacing does not take place after a period and when
the letter "I" is used.
Appreciate your offer of help. As you know, this can be a frustrating
process. I am glad to be back on track.
