how do I edit text that has been marked up with ink?
Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2005 8:40 pm Post subject: AFTER MS Word inking/markup
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is the use of using MS Word inking to markup a document only to find that when you start to actually edit the document, the text and the markup don't stay together? As soon as you begin to change the text, you soon realize that the markup is really just a graphic overlay that has no reall connection with the text. For editing to work properly with a marked up document, the markup must stay "attached" to the words that are marked up! Otherwise, what use is it? Am I supposed to accept that once a document is marked up, it should be printed out in order to compare to the original for further editing? Am I missing something here? I just dropped a couple grand on a wonderful HP/Compaq tc4200, but it's basically uselss for editing marked up text in say a chapter of a book. I've tried using PDF files as well, but no luck. PDF Annotator is neat, but doesn't solve the problem. PenOffice is slick too, but no solution. Help! I'm about to return this tablet pc and go back to pen and paper! |

how do I edit text that has been marked up with ink?
Hi Frustrated
I've got an HP Tablet, too, and my experience is somewhat different. If my document contains text, and I use the tools on the Ink Annotations toolbar to mark up the document, then the mark up stays "attached" to the relevant text. That is, if I add text above the marked up text, the marked up text (along with its ink annotation) moves down the screen. However, I observe that the Help file (in the help article "Mark up a document with ink annotations") says "changing the layout of the document -- for example, by adding or removing content, changing margins or font size, or making other changes that change the layout of the document -- may destroy the alignment between annotations and content". Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Frustrated" wrote in message ...
