Microsoft Office 2003 Ink Tools

Ink comes in three forms in Office 2003: Annotations, comments, and drawing and writing. Ink annotations can be hidden, while ink drawing and writing areas cannot. Ink comments are used only in Word 2003 for collaborative notes. Table B.5 lists the ways ink can be used in the various Office 2003 applications.
