Oops!
When will hand writing recognition be available in writer? I have a Wacom and I was just wondering. Thx

Do you mean hadnwriting by any chance? If so there's not plans for that as far as i know. What is a Wacom BtW?
You're going to have to be a little less vague

A Wacom is what animators use to create cartoons with, what artists use to digitally paint with, etc.
I have the cheap Wacom called the "bamboo". I'm just a wannabe animator so a "cintiq" is out of my reach.

What you could do is contact Wacom and ask them when they will Support OOo.

if you have vista the built in handwritting recognition tools work fine with open office

if you have linux then try cellwritter:
