I bought a Spin 5 a couple of years ago. It comes with a stylish pen that was supposed to work on the screen to allow drawing and taking notes on documents. What do I need to do or what software I need to install in order to use this pen?

    We need more information. Which Spin 5 model did you get? It should be something like SP5xx-xxx-xxxx and the number is usually on the same sticker as the serial number. They have used different styluses on different models. Some charge when they are in the dock, some need a new battery when they run out.

    Thanks for your response, Billsey. The pen is charged when docked. So battery is not an issue. I just cannot write any comments on a PDF document with the pen. My question is whether I can write notes on a Word document or PDF document with this pen. Do I need a certain software installed in order to use this pen.

    You shouldn't need any special software to use the pen, but some apps will not support inking, so won't work with handwriting recognition.
