Have you ever wanted to be able to write a
letter in your own handwriting and use Word to edit it at the same time? Now you can do both. Microsoft has a link on
their website that will allow you to turn your handwriting into a font via a third party service. The service is fairly
inexpensive and simple. You can install this font on your computer and use it to write letters in your own handwriting,
without having to sacrifice the powerful editing features in Word. Hey, I have just solved the problem of SPAM emails!
If you make everyone who sends emails do it in their own handwriting, then you could catch people by using handwriting,
so why have the authorities not thought of this? Perhaps I should think about that one for a while before alerting the
FBI.

(Page 1)2. Thanks William,
I love free alternatives, if only I had a tablet pc. I think they are the coolest thing, but just never had the cash for it. Perhaps I will get one soon. It's pretty cool that you let people make their own font on your tablet. Thanks again!

5. Microsoft has a free tool available to Tablet PC users, part of the Tablet PC PowerToys collection, that allows you to create a font from your own writing. I've had numerous people use my tablet to make their own fonts, which you can then use on any computer.
It's fun and free :)
