2. Introduction
The ideal presentation: you show your PowerPoint slides,

impress your clients easily, and they buy your product.
Let’s face reality. If your audience is interested in your
presentation, then you will have to answer questions that
you may not have prepared slides for.
Time to go interactive.
This is the power of the pen: to spontaneously
emphasize key points, draw diagrams, incorporate input
from the audience, take notes, and more! Here are a few
tips that will help to make your presentation smoother
and to make the discussion following your presentation
more productive.
3. Basic Pen Functions
Step 1: Start the slide show by
pressing the slide show button
Shortcuts: [F5] (starts slide
show from the beginning),
[Shift+F5] (starts slide show
from current slide)
Step 2: Click the pen icon at
the bottom left of the slide
show screen to switch from the
arrow to a ballpoint pen, a felt
tip pen, or a highlighter.
Step 3: Choose the ink color
and begin writing!
Step 4: Save or discard ink
marks when you exit the slide
show (shortcut: [Esc]).
The pen icon is hidden until you move the pointer

during a slide show.
4. Learn shortcuts!
Keyboard shortcuts
dramatically reduce
preparation time and
make slide shows
much shorter.
For slide show
shortcuts, press the
help button [F1]
during a slide show.
5. Recommended Slide Show Shortcuts
These shortcuts will make

your presentation much
smoother!
[Ctrl+A] Change to arrow
[Ctrl+P] Change to (felt tip) pen
[Ctrl+E] Change to eraser
[E] Erases all ink marks
While in pen mode, press [Esc] to
change to an arrow
6. Recommended Slide Show Shortcuts (cont.)
[B] or [W] Turns the screen black or white

z This function allows you to use the PowerPoint screen as
a blackboard or whiteboard for drawing diagrams, etc.
However, must switch to pen mode before pressing [b] or
[w], and anything you write will disappear when you exit
the blank or white screen. Note: the JustWrite Office
software bundled with the Wacom BizTablet will allow you
to save a blank slide.
[Ctrl+T] Shows the Windows taskbar
z You can switch programs without exiting the slide show.
To return to the slide show, click on the taskbar button
that says “Powerpoint Slide Show”
7. Reduce preparation time with shortcuts
F5: Start slide show from the Tab: Shift outline level right
beginning Shift+Tab: Shift outline level
Shift+F5: Start slide show from left
current slide Ctrl+E: Align text center
Ctrl+M: Insert new slide Ctrl+L: Align text left
Ctrl+Y: Redo last action. Use Ctrl+R: Align text right
this when you need to repeat Ctrl+J: Justified alignment
actions like turning lots of
Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+]: Decrease or
individual words into a different
color increase font size
Ctrl+Shift+F: Makes the font
Ctrl+Enter: Inserts a new slide
pane active so that you can
change fonts quickly by typing.
8. Program your pen’s buttons
Ctrl+A is easy to press, but
keystrokes with keys that are
far apart (like Ctrl+P) can be
too difficult, especially when
you are nervous.
Instead program these
keystokes into your pen using
the tablet properties.
Wacom’s BizTablet users have
the additional benefit of two
additional programmable
buttons on the tablet itself.
You won’t need to touch the
keyboard at all!
9. Program your pen’s buttons (cont.)
Step 1: Open your pen

tablet properties by going
to the start menu>
programs>tablet>
tablet properties
Step 2: Click on the menu
for one of the buttons,
then click on “keystroke”.
Step 3: Type the shortcut
key or key combination
and click OK. Your button
has now been customized!
10. Recommended keystrokes
If you right click, you can use the
keyboard to navigate the menu.
Right click Ctrl+A To switch to the highlighter quickly,
program the keystroke [“o” then
“h”] onto one of your pen’s buttons.
Before pressing this button, press
the right trackpad button with your
free hand first. This will switch to
the highlighter in two steps.
Switching quickly between the pen
and highlighter will give you a
stunning presentation!

Ctrl+P
11. Usage: Emphasize Key Points!
Emphasize key points by highlighting, circling or underlining words
during your presentation.
NOTE: If you are using a dark background, the highlighter may be
difficult to see.
For a very strong emphasis, write the word or number on the screen.
This leaves a very strong IMPACT on the audience since handwriting
looks different and the word stays on the screen while you explain.
NOTE: Writing words takes time and practice. If you pause too long
to write, it leaves a distracting, uncomfortable silence in the room,
and it destroys the rhythm of your presentation.
DO NOT use too many ink marks. The screen will get “dirty” and
marks will lose impact.
12. Usage: After presentation discussion
After your presentation comes questions

and discussion. Use the blank screens ([B]
for black or [W] for white) or prepare
blank slides to use as discussion space for
notes, diagrams, etc.
13. JustWrite Office: Advanced Pen Techniques
The JustWrite Office suite included with Wacom’s BizTablet and provides advanced,
customizable pen functions for MS Office’s Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
During preparation, JustWrite allows you to customize the width of the pen and pen color
from the toolbar, and you can create user pens for favorite colors.
During the JustShow slideshow, in addition to the pen function, there are functions for
laser pointers, drawing rectangles and circles, and unlike PowerPoint Ink, you can save
the notes you take on blank slides! You can also print directly from the slide show!
