Enter Text Using Web and E-Mail Quick Keys
If you frequently use Tablet PC Input Panel to enter Web site and e-mail addresses, consider using Web and e-mail quick keys to enter text more rapidly. For example, instead of writing ".com," converting the writing to typed text, and then inserting the text, you can simply tap the .com quick key. If Web and e-mail quick keys are available for the program that you are using, they appear in the writing pad and in the character pad.
