can you use the stylus to write in Word and convert to type?

Ye. I don't know if Word has any specific options, but the Windows 8 onscreen keyboard has a setting for handwriting conversion that it can insert into any program.

You can use the stylus to convert writing into type anywhere there is a place to enter text on your computer. Just use the on-screen keyboard, and select the keyboard option for using the stylus.

Yes. The Surface Pro 3 has a selection of onscreen keyboards, one of which allows you to convert handwriting to type. I tested this in the desktop version of Word, and it works amazingly well, even with my sloppy cursive.

The laptop comes with a stylus that you can write with. So far I have been using the stylus to write words into an input screen which converts my handwriting into print which I can insert into the document.

Yes, you can use any stylus , the smaller one would be preferable, however I use the old fashion finger. Wish you well. Larry

This is just a touch screen stylus, not an ink pen or pencil. Also, with the larger tip on this stylus, it probably wouldn't be the best choice for a writing program.

Yes you can. The device comes with a stylus but the screen is actually pressure sensitive. This means you can even do finger art.Just want to add something. Some lines (made with very light pressure) can appear on screen but may not appear in the saved version (PDF). Not sure why bu I guess the save is not as sensitive as the actual screen.

I got this tablet a week or two ago and am pretty sure you can use a stylus, Samsung has these available so they should be compatible with the tablet 100%. If it is worth or not it depends on you! I do a lot of drawing so could be nice for example, or it is more comforable than just a finger and also keeps it cleaner :)

Any random capacitive (i.e. finger simulating) stylus will do. Since this doesn't have an active digitizer, like the Venue Pro 8, I found the usefulness of a stylus kind of disappointing... I ended up just sizing up all the desktop elements (in display settings) and using my finger.

No it cannot. It is used just like the default stylus such as holding it down and touching the screen twice opens notepad or holding it down and keeping the tip on the screen takes a screen shot. It cannot be changed however.

Probably not. I ordered it thinking that I would be able to use it to draw, write, etc...on my regular tablet, however it didn't work. It is extremely hard and most tablets require a softer tip made of a heat sensitive material for the tablet to pick up the motions of the stylus.

Not really the touch screen for typing is awkward and I use a Bluetooth keyboard. I don't really use a stylus as I dislike pecking while typing.

Hi, no. These are just the nibs for the Wacom pen tool and not for tablet stylus.

Yes. This was a horrible stylus and the tips don't last very long. I have since move on to another stylus.

I have a pen with a special soft point on the back end that I use as a stylus, but I usually use my finger. I may not be answering your question because I do not really use the tablet for much more than reading and podcasts.

You cannot. You may only use the stylus to move the cursor. This can be good for when you are drawing or something that way the touch of your hand does not interfere with what you're doing!

No, actually. The tips and their replacements are highly variable. Some tips might be better for handwriting than others, but don't expect it to feel anything like pen and paper, much less a hard-tipped, bluetooth stylus, when writing.
