Operation
These instructions assume the user is familiar with the operation of
ActiveWords software. New ActiveWords users are
encouraged to view the demonstration videos.
ActiveWords InkPad works much like ActiveWords ActionPad, providing a
context for entering and triggering ActiveWords.
ActiveWord text substitutions will be sent to the text
entry location active (blinking cursor) immediately before the InkPad
is displayed.
ActiveWords InkPad Icon 
The ActiveWords InkPad Icon is used to pop up the ActiveWords
InkPad
where the
user enters and triggers ActiveWords. This main icon can be resized and can be
positioned anywhere on the display or be docked on any side of the
display.
To position the InkPad icon simply press the stylus on its surface and drag
it, or click and drag using the mouse cursor.
To resize the InkPad icon press the stylus on the lower right corner and
drag, or click and drag the lower right corner using the mouse cursor.
To dock the icon drag it to any location on the edge of the
display.
When docked the icon with turn into a small tab. 
Hovering the stylus or mouse cursor over this tab will pop out the InkPad icon. 
InkPad Window
Depending on user settings the InkPad surface will pop up by
tapping on the InkPad icon or by hovering over it.
When you begin to enter your ActiveWord the "GO"
button will appear:
To trigger your ActiveWord either quickly move the stylus (or
your finger for Touch PC users) away
from the InkPad area or tap on the "GO" button. You can resize the
InkPad area by dragging the lower right or lower left corner of the window.
Menus and Controls
The menu is shown by holding the stylus on the InkPad icon
to simulate a mouse right-click, then releasing. The same menu is also available
by tapping the ActiveWords icon at the upper left of the InkPad surface.
The Settings dialog allows control of the opacity of the floating InkPad
icon and control over the behavior of the InkPad pop up. You can set InkPad
surface to pop up with either a Tap or a Hover of the stylus on the floating
InkPad icon. The "Stylus
Only" control prevents the mouse cursor from popping up the InkPad.
