From: Ludger A. Rinsche on 27 Feb 2008 13:13 Hi, i am using a Lenovo Thinkpad X41 Tablet with WinXP-Tablet Edition. The MS insert area tool (it is tabtip, isnt it?) has v 1.7.2600.2180. As you can see at the picture (http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=aVpXFEJ) there is a lot of space between the space ar and the task bar. Wasted space which i dont want to waste on a 12,1" display. Can i resize the tool so that this space isnt wasted? Another problem: If I chose under "Options" that it shoudnt be docked it doesnt undocks, it disappears! I use a lot of non MS programms, so the small icon for the tool often dont appears. Is there a way to create a shortcut or batch command to let the undocked taptip on the screen? Or is there a way to let it slide away, vista style? (so i can get it back at every time) Thx alot!

From: Beverly Howard [Ms-MVP/MobileDev] on 28 Feb 2008 12:08 >> nothing << Since there was no "line" assumed that but posted in on the slight possibility that it was related to quickbuttons. However, think I found it in the interum... go to tip options, writing and set space between lines to a lower value... ....the space assigned to writing fixes the tip box size, so, when the keyboard is selected the box remains sized for the writing spacing.

There is no way to resize the docked Tablet Input Panel on Windows XP You should be able to use the "shake" gesture to make the TIP appear where/when you want it. Shake is not the easiest gesture to perform though, so your mileage may vary. Lastly, (this sounds sarcastic, but is not meant in a sarcastic way)If you want Vista features, you should install Vista. Not only will you get the nifty sliding, but you'll get a whole host of improvements in other Tablet usability aspects as well. Otherwise, there is no way to script making the TIP appear/disappear on WinXP --Hilton Locke "Ludger A. Rinsche" wrote: > Hi, > i am using a Lenovo Thinkpad X41 Tablet with WinXP-Tablet Edition.
