Ink not persistent "Rainald Taesler" <taesler[ at ]gmx.de> 12.07.2006 22:56:01 I had a really strange thing this afternoon. When trying to put anything with the pen on a document (and even outside a document) when I did click somewhere else on the screen or changed to a different page, the ink input got lost. It just flew away. I have no idea on what have been the case. I had not changed anything and did just continue where I had stopped working in another room. After a reboot this strange issue was no longer there. Anybody having any clue? Rainald

RE: Ink not persistent Lee N 14.07.2006 04:39:06 Is it possible that you selected the "Use Pen as Pointer" tool rather than an actual pen? This tool looks like a pen, but has a gray gradient bar underneath it. My understanding is that it is designed to allow you to mark up a page temporarily (for example while giving a talk, or teaching a class) without actually making permanent edits to the page.

I'm doing this in PowerPoint presentations (and this was the # 1 reason for buying a TabletPC instead of a notebook). But I simply do not understand what you are talking about ... {siiigh} As said. I just did what I always do. And the drawings and handwriting flew away. It has not happened again since this one time. Rainald [who is clueless :-( :-( ]

Re: Ink not persistent andy.j.bryant[ at ]gmail.com 15.07.2006 09:35:23 There is a KB that sounds like this KB917148 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=FB539985-8D2C-43B6-89E9-BE6F089D15FE&displaylang=en I installed it when I was on ON2003, and the problem stopped happening to me; but then I upgraded to ON2007 beta, and haven't seen the issue since either.

Thanks, Andy! I assume that this patch will not be for ON 2007. I'll wait and see if the symptom will appear again. It was a single accident so far. Rainald

Re: Ink not persistent "Chris H." <winxpnews[ at ]hotmail.com> 15.07.2006 14:53:11 Hard to tell what the beta software of OneNote 2007 will require, although a lot of "fixes" are included in the newer version. Until OneNote 2007 reaches a more mature state (release quality), knowing which way to jump is impossible. -- Chris H.
