Customizing Your Handwriting

The

Handwriting Customization tool contains sample sentences which you copy to show PenPoint how you write.

If you've never written with a pen on a computer screen before, you might want to spend a few minutes using the Letter Practice tool to get the feel of writing on glass.

Once you're accustomed to writing on the screen, you'll be able to train PenPoint in the writing style you'll actually use in the Notebook.

If you make a mistake, tap Clear to erase the last word you wrote.

(If you tap it again it erases the previous word and so on.)

To learn how to set the size of the boxes so that you can write easily within them, read "Choosing a Writing Pad Style" in this chapter.

If you choose a larger box size, you may need to scroll the page to bring the areas off the screen into view.
