This is a great product.  I was a little apprehensive when I purchased it...afraid that it would not really do what they said it would.  The salesman was very helpful and honest with his explanations of what this fantastic product was capable of.  You can jump from program to program with the pen and write in just about everything...I have not found one program that I could use the pen in. It also learns to recognize your handwriting if you wnat to convert writing to typing.  You can draw, write, highlight, edit, proof read, spruce-up presentations..and, just for fun, your kids can draw pictures...
