That's correct. The settings all seem right in Advanced Text Services,
and Handwriting is installed in Office (although it's its own item, it's
not on the same level as voice), and I'm not running any anti-virus
software.

And you did try doing the Office Repair install? If so, and the three Ink
entries are not showing up under View/Toolbars in Word 2003 I would suggest
you post to one of the Office newsgroups. I'm also doing some tracking down
of the issue with the Office team at Microsoft, so perhaps we'll come up
with a solution soon.

The problem seems to involve the differences in Tablet 2005 OS and
Windows XP OS. I reloaded my OS with the standard XP version and the
full handwriting tools appeared. When I reloaded the Tablet OS, only
the abbreviated version is available.

I've done a full format and reload with both OS systems twice so I'm
confident that this creates the situation.

They are one, Glenn. The Tablet PCs run Windows XP Pro as the operating
system with the Tablet PC Edition running on top much as Media Center
Edition computers run that superset on XP Pro.

You're also having the error, and I don't see it on three different Tablets
which I run here. Something else is happening that I'm not seeing on the
three different brand machines.

What other programs do you have installed? Anything like a third-party
software firewall?

Well, if you get someone from MS interested, I'd be happy to run my
machine over to Redmond for them to look at. I'm former MS. In fact, I
was the guy who recommended you to become an MVP. :-)

Perhaps some progress. I do have access to all three inking toolbars
and I can use ink drawing to create a "text" box and handwrite
directly into it. What I cannot do is find a way to recognize the
handwritten text within the box and covert the handwritten text to
typed text.

I can do this on my tablet when I only load XP. The options are no
longer available with the Tablet PC overlay.

I'm guessing this is the same problem that Russell is experiencing.

Glenn, I posted elsewhere here before the procedure on converting Ink in
Office from handwriting to text:
=====
As for converting, there are a few steps to that. If you used the
Handwriting Toolbar to write directly into Word (without using the TIP),
then on the Ink Drawing and Writing Toolbar, tab the little white arrow
(Select Objects) and drag around the Ink you wish recognized.

When you've selected what you want converted to text, right-click your
selected area and choose Copy Ink as Text. Then place the cursor where you
want to put the Text, right-click again and select Paste.

In the long run, if your object is to Ink with the final objective being
text, it is easier to use the Tablet Input Panel.
=====

To me, it seems like the long way around, but that's because at the present
time Office applications are not as aware of Ink (as I'd like to see them).
