SYMPTOMS
When you compose a handwritten document in Note Taker on a Palm-size PC (P/PC), the screen may scroll unexpectedly.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you use two separate pen strokes to write a character on the last line on the screen.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, follow these steps to disable automatic scrolling in Note Taker:


 * 1) Tap Start, and then tap Note Taker.
 * 2) One the Tools menu, tap Options.
 * 3) On the General tab, tap the Scroll Upon Reaching Last Line check box to clear it, and then tap OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
Note Taker interprets a pen stroke at the bottom of the screen as a command to scroll the screen if you pause more than 0.75 second between one stroke and the next. You cannot change the handwriting timer setting.
