SYMPTOMS
========
This article lists known problems using Windows 95 for Pen Computing and Word
for Windows.
The following gestures do not work:
- Edit Text gesture (check mark circled)
- Insert Text gesture (caret circled)
- Context Menu gesture (M circled), can't right-click for Context menus
- Select gesture (lasso tap)
The following symptoms and problems may be experienced:
- Pen Windows display does not refresh correctly when the pen is near the
digitizer pad.
- When the pen is near (or in contact with the digitizer) and the barrel button
is pressed, the cursor changes to an I-Beam.
- The pen "drag handle" is not shown. This is a small button that floats along
with the insertion point, allowing access to a context menu and easier access
with a pen.
- You cannot drag a selection with the pen.
- When you neatly print characters using the pen stylus, the characters are
connected as if you had not lifted the pen between printed characters.
WORKAROUND
==========
Context Menu Gesture (M circled)
--------------------------------
Press SHIFT+F10 with the pen at the point where you want a context menu.
Display Refresh Symptom
-----------------------
Keep the pen away from the digitizer pad when not in use. For additional
