Hey Bret, So grateful for your videos. I am a surface user and have been for a while and your videos help me to get the most from my surface. Really grateful. This one and the last few in fact have revealed things I simply did not know and are really helpful. This video really makes using the pen in word and excel a real thing!! these tools were not originally made for pen input but now the pen has a real place in the workflow of using these tools. I love it. Thanks again and please keep it up. You provide a near essential service for any serious surface user.

Hiya, im a Surface Pro New user and i love using it for both University and Work (mature student) and for a while, i had to convert my office files to pdfs to use pen with till i found out about surface draw function (which is awesome) ... i would suggest, though, to allow us to move draw toolbar to any location (i would choose hand right side) for faster pen access .... Thank you for the video...

Hi Brett, I have an IPad Pro that I have had for 3 months. I believe surface pro will be the better Tablet PC 💻 Can you advice which is the latest Version? There is now a Surface LTE and I have no idea what that is. I am an interior designer so I use various digital software to produce my work. I have found with IPad Pro I have not been able to complete a lot of tasks accurately which is why I am now going towards a surface pro
@oztabletpc

Thanks for the comment. The LTE has 4G / Cellular data capability with a SIM card (or an inbuilt e-SIM card). That's the Surface I use. Technically it is a slightly older model than the Surface Pro 6, but it's still powerful enough for most tasks. I love being always connected, so that suits me. Just bear in mind that the Surface is very different to using an iPad. The interface is sometimes not as slick, but the capabilities are great. It might take a bit of learning to get the most out of it, but it's worth the investment!

Ok, then there is a high possibility that your IT department has not deployed the Office 365 Desktop apps, rather Office 2016 or before. Let me know if instead of Draw, you have a toolbar that says "Ink Tools > Pens". That one would only appear when you put your pen to the screen.

Most of them are really not surface tips at all, they work on any Windows 2 in 1. 😉 I have found that a lot of 2 in 1s do need that setting on as the palm rejection does not work as well as on Surface. Yesterday I had to turn it on for a Dell XPS. Palm rejection was really poor.
