Good day everyone. I've tried searching the net for an answer but haven't
found a solution. I have XP Tablet PC's in the field which connect to our
metaframe session and get a windows desktop. They are able to open a
word/excel document, bring up the text input panel and use that for
handwriting to text conversion. What I'd like to to is use the Ink
annotation feature in word to write a signiture onto a document. If i use
Office on the tablet pc it works fine but I'd like to enable that feature
somehow on office 2003 on our metaframe server. anyone ever try this? I
believe i'd need to install the Microsoft Handwriting Component from the
Office install to get the ink toolbars...any thoughts. Thank you.

Won't work across RDP, unfortunately. A simpler solution is to create the
signature locally on the Tablet, save as format of your choice, and then
paste it into the document on the Terminal Server.

might also look for a custom app that would allow the user to sketch
their signature and have that inserted into the current app... suggest
reposting at microsoft.public.windows.tabletpc.developer to see if
someone knows of options.
