Using a Stylus in a Tablet

The stylus allows you to actively navigate through the menus. You can use it as a mouse and also as a pen.

Using the Stylus as a Mouse

You can use the stylus the same way you use a mouse or touch pad with a notebook computer. Holding the stylus near 
the display makes a small cursor appear. Moving the stylus moves the cursor. Table 1 describes how to use the stylus.

The Touch Keyboard or Handwriting recognition makes it easy to enter text into your applications with the stylus or finer. 
Applications like Windows Journal, allow you to write with the stylus directly into the application window.
