I cannot get the ink annotations to work in outlook 2003. I have tried
reading the article stated below but that still does not help. I have the
emails set to HTML and i am using outlook 2003 as my email editor. The ink
comment work fine and the ink writing and drawing works good too. I just
can't get the annotations to work. I can see the icon but it is grayed out.
The annotations seem to work fine in word and excel just not in outlook. I
previously have office xp pro installed but i removed it to install offce
2003. I had the XP Tablet Pack installed also but I removed that too. How
do I fix this? Should I uninstall office 2003 and reinstall the XP tablet
pack and reinstall office 2003?

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks
Geoff



This Knowledge Base article should help you:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=k...d=2530&sid=139 ; You
need to use the Insert menu, then to Picture, and then tap Ink Drawing and
Writing. When you're done, tap Stop Inking.

You need to use Word 2003 as your email editor, Geoff. Are you running
Windows XP SP2 and the Tablet PC Edition 2005?

Yes, I do have word 2003 set as my email editor and am running Tablet XP 2005
with SP2. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

You need to use Word 2003 as your email editor, Geoff. Are you running

I would go into Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs, then find the listing
for Microsoft Office, then double-tap it. You will then have the Change
button, and tap that. Select Add or Remove Features, then next. Put a
check mark in Choose advanced customization of applications, then the Next
button.

Under Office Shared Features, expand the listings with the + button, then
make sure Microsoft Handwriting Component is being installed, then tap the
Update button. If that is already installed, back up in the selections and
do a Repair install of Office.

Okay, we should try something else. If you're in Word, with a document
open, are you able to use Annotation there?

Yes, it works fine in word and excel both. I can annotate and write anywhere
on the screen. In outlook, the icon is grayed out. I can go to view -
toolbars - and select the annotations and the floating toolbar displays but
the icons are grayed.

Thanks again
Geoff


Okay, we should try something else. If you're in Word, with a document
open, are you able to use Annotation there?

I don't know what else to tell you, Geoff. I haven't seen the problem
here - ever. I'll have to think on it. Perhaps someone else will drop by
with a hint. 8-)

BTW - if you go into Control Panel/Regional and Language Settings/Languages
tab/Details button, on the Settings tab, are you seeing four listings under
Advanced Text Services? There should be Ink Correction, Tablet PC
Correction, Tablet PC Correction for Windows Journal and Tablet PC Text
Insertion.
