About entering text with the stylus or pen

You can use the stylus or pen to enter text in Inspiration.

Tip: When using the stylus or pen to write text, you will also want to use the stylus to accomplish mouse actions, such as creating symbols and links, using the Inspiration toolbars and Symbols palette and accessing the menus.

In general, stylus strokes initiated immediately after placing the stylus or pen down are taken as handwriting. Stylus strokes initiated after a delay after placing the stylus or pen down are taken as mouse control. This delay can be changed by the user at the system level. You may want to experiment with different settings to see what feels the most natural to you.
