When Ink was first being touted I watched many demos where someone wrote in
ink and they highlighted it then converted it to text. So I finally talked
the president of the company into buying one as he's not a typer and sold him
on this idea. When we finally got it, it does not perform as the demo
showed; write a sentence, right click, convert to text, spell check, bold,
italicize.... etc. This demo I saw was using Word on a TabletPC.

What Tablet PC is he using, and is the Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed,
along with the Tablet PC Edition 2005? Which edition of Word is in use?

Okay, if he is in Word 2003 and using the Tablet Input Panel for the
handwriting, the Options should be set for Undock of the TIP (so he will
have the TIP Access icon showing), and then also set the TIP Option to not
automatically insert text.

That way, he can write many sentences with the TIP automatically expanding
lines, see the preview of the identified words and make any possible
corrections prior to tapping the Insert button.

Now, if he's using the Handwriting feature in Word 2003, he needs to use the
Ink Drawing and Writing Toolbar (under View/Toolbars . . .). The converting
of handwriting to text needs to have the handwriting recognition installed.
Take a look in Word's Help for "Convert writing . . ." Details of the steps
are in the Help result.

Personally, I prefer using the Tablet PC TIP instead of using the multi-step
Office version.
