All,
After invoking "Start Inking" in the ribbon I can make just one stroke with
the pen before the interface reverts to [expecting] typing and the pen input
stops. Another way of saying this is that inking will stop as sioon as I lift
the pen from the tablet screen surface, even for just a moment.

Of course, this means that you cannot finish many letters or certainly two
letters of a word. This can't be right...
I have looked throughout the dialog boxes in Word2007 (Beta 2, still, not
B2TR) for any setting that affects this. My other programs behave 9mostly) as
expected with their pen input.

I am NOT referring to comments, just inking within a document.

Any thoughts on what causes this? I have lots of classroom needs for inking
within Word. I don't have Word2003 on this laptop to try the same input
source, so cannot compare.
I use WinXP tablet edition on a Toshiba M400 with T2500 dual core processor
and 2GIG RAM.
