SUMMARY
This article describes the known issues when you try to use PowerPoint 2002 with Office XP on the Tablet PC.



MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: This article is written as if you do not have a keyboard installed on your Tablet PC. The Input Panel is an input device that provides keyboard-like functionality.

Ink on a PowerPoint Object Is Deleted
When you try to save a slide show after you add ink to the slide show in a PowerPoint object that is embedded in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, the ink may disappear.

Pen Menu Is Removed in the PowerPoint Slide
After you remove the Office XP Pack for Tablet PC, the standard pen commands in the PowerPoint Slide Show menu are missing.

To work around this issue, reset the short cut menus:
 * 1) Start PowerPoint.
 * 2) On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then tap Customize.
 * 3) Tap the Toolbars tab, and then tap Shortcut Menus.
 * 4) Tap Reset, and then tap OK.
 * 5) Tap Close.

Inking Does Not Work in Presenter View on Computer with Multiple Monitors
When you try to configure PowerPoint to use the Presenter View feature on a computer with multiple monitors, you may be unable to draw ink in the Slide Show view.

To work around this issue, disable the Presenter View feature:
 * 1) Start PowerPoint.
 * 2) On the Slide Show menu, tap Set Up Show.
 * 3) Tap to clear the Show Presenter View check box, and then tap OK.

Ink Is Not Saved
Under the following conditions, ink changes may not be saved:
 * 1) You view a slide show that contains unsaved ink.
 * 2) You quit PowerPoint while the slide show is running.
 * 3) You save the ink changes, but do not save the presentation.

To work around this issue, tap Yes when you are prompted to save the presentation.

Ink Disappears After Screen Rotation
When you change the screen orientation during a slide show to which you have added ink, the ink may not appear.

To work around this issue, save the ink, and then rotate the screen.

Slide Show Animation Erases Ink
When you try to show animation in your slide show, all ink changes disappear where the animation screen was.

To work around this issue, switch to another screen, and then switch back to the slide show to redraw ink.

The Ink Dot Pointer Does Not Appear if the Mouse Pointer Is Not Visible
If the mouse pointer does not appear while you are using Slide Show view and you draw ink, the Ink pointer may not appear.

To work around this issue, move the mouse before you switch to Ink mode to make the pointer visible.

Cannot Deactivate Canvas
When you activate a canvas in PowerPoint and apply a slide design, you may be unable to deactivate the canvas.

To work around this issue, press ESC to deactivate the canvas.

Cursor Is Wrong in Slide Show View
During the first change into Slide Show view, you may be prompted to install Speech Recognition files. If you tap No, a mouse pointer may appear instead of an ink dot pointer.

Pen Pointers Add Different Ink
When you add ink to a slide show by using one pen and leave it running, and then add ink to the presentation with a different pen, the pen for the slide show appears as one type but may add ink of another type.

To work around this issue, close the current slide show before you add ink to another presentation with a different pen.
