• Open the Tablet Input Panel (TIP) by waving the pen back and forth over the screen.
• Backspace by drawing a right-to-left line on the display surface.
• In most text input programs, you can erase text by scratching it out. Microsoft® Windows® XP for Tablet PC interprets a scratchout as a delete command. To erase, draw a short, wide "Z".

More information about gestures and gesture symbols, as well as handwriting tips, are located in the Help section of the TIP's Tools menu.
