    Hi, is there a way i can use the pen tools (ball point pen etc.) in Microsoft word 2007 if i have Xp professional and not tablet PC edition?

    I ask this because my pen buttons are greyed out and i have a wacom tablet that i would like to use with them.

    Thx in advance

    There used to be a Handwriting Recognition download, as an extension pack to XP Pro, but I don't know if its available anymore - considering Vista is out. This was used years ago, when XP TPC edition didn't exist.
