1. When using handwriting recognizer on the subject line of a journal entry,
all text is recognized as numbers.

2. Digital ink is not an option under INSERT l OBJECT, nor does there appear
to be any other ability to directly enter digital ink into the body of a
journal entry.

Mike, which version of the Tablet PC Edition are you running, and have you
updated the Office 2003 applications and also with this file:

Chris -

It's SP2 / Tablet pc 2005. Yes, I installed the handwriting "upgrade" for
Office 2003 a week or two ago. Everything is up to date according to the
Windows and Office 2003 automatic update websites.

Thanks,
Mike

Did this work at one time, Mike? If so, and it was "last week" I would
suggest you use a Restore Point from System Restore to go back to when it
worked. I'd also look at what you may have installed on your system which
may have caused the issue.

Otherwise, do other applications where you use the Tablet Input Panel
function properly i the conversion? If so, then it is limited to Windows
Journal and you should go into the Command Prompt window (not Start/Run) and
navigate to the C:\Program Files\Windows Journal\ directory. In there, type
"regsvr32 <filename.dll>" without the quotes, individually on each of these
four files:
- nbdoc.dll
- inkseg.dll
- mspvwctl.dll
- nbmaptip.dll

When complete, exit the Command Prompt window and restart your Tablet PC.

Chris -

Thanks again for the reply, but I want to make sure you haven't confused
applications. This is regarding the journal in OUTLOOK 2003, not the Journal
application that comes with Windows XP, Tablet PC edition.

I tried doing a restore prior to the update of Office 2003 handwriting
recognition with no affect. I don't know if this problem existed before
because, while I have used the journal function of Outlook in the past quite
a bit, I haven't ever tried to change the default auto filled contact name
that's placed on the subject line when making a journal entry from a contact
card.

There has been no other recent software application installations or
changes, of any kind. I'm not having problems with the TIP in any other
applications.

Probably unrelated, but out of curiosity, is the command line routine you
described a technique for registering an application in the system registry?

Okay, sorry, I didn't see you were talking about Outlook's Journal (it is in
the subject line, and I wasn't reading that). 8-) What I listed for
command line use pertains to Windows Journal.

On the Outlook Journal issue, I'd post to one of the regular Outlook
newsgroups, like microsoft.public.outlook or
microsoft.public.outlook.contacts to see if one of the Outlook MVPs may be
able to help you. I took a look in Outlook's Help, and found nothing about
changing the default contact's name. It may be you need to create a new
entry and then insert/copy the previous information and delete the old
entry. I really don't know.

You may also want to investigate the information here:
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/journal.htm That's the site of Sue Mosher,
who is an Outlook MVP, and she's got a lot of information.

Sorry I can't help. 8-(
