Yes, I have XP so I think I am SOL. Is there an upgrade to 2003 still
available?

Sorry, but I was afraid you had an older version. If you do a search on
Google, you'll find plenty of available Office 2003 upgrade versions.
Office XP (the 2002 versions of the programs) was on the market before
Tablet PCs came out, and is one of the least pen-aware of the Office
versions available. There was an Office XP Tablet Pack available
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=33790048-269B-4838-AB9E-74B64626A494&displaylang=en)
which did add some "context tagging" so the 2002 versions became aware of
pen usage, but it still isn't very good compared to Office 2003 or the newer
Office 2007.
