Using Windows XP Tablet PC 2005 Tips ■ Hold the pen the same way you hold a writing pen, and steady your writing hand by resting it on the display surface. ■ Line up the pointer before you tap, in cases where the pointer and pen point are out of alignment. The screen reads the position of the pointer, not the tap. ■ Store the pen in the tablet PC's pen holder. Store extra pens in a drawer to avoid prolonged pressure on the pen tip. ■ The pen has internal electronics, so keep it dry and avoid contact with liquids.
