How to Use Vista Tablet Handwriting Gestures
Tablet computers using Windows Vista don't have keyboards and often support handwriting with a tablet pen and specialized input panel. In addition to handwriting character recognition, you can also control handwriting input using gestures. For example, scratching out something you wrote to delete it or moving the pen in certain ways to input a backspace, tab, space or return. The writing area needs to be clear of ink before performing a backspace, tab, space or return. Performing a scratch-out gesture over something you've written is fine.
