Enhancement of Note-taking Capabilities: Incorporation of Outstanding OneNote Pens into Word, Excel, and PowerPoint - Understanding the Significance
Microsoft has expanded the creative possibilities in its Office suite by integrating the popular Fountain Pen and Brush Pen tools from OneNote into Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on Windows. These new additions aim to enhance the inking experience, offering users more options for expressing creativity and adding artistic touches to their work.
Availability and Requirements
The Fountain Pen and Brush Pen are now accessible from the Draw tab in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on Windows. To make use of these features, users must be running at least Version 2508 (Build 19127.20000) of these applications.
Functionality
The Fountain Pen simulates the real-world writing experience, allowing users to create thin lines for detailed work. The thickness of the strokes can be controlled by varying speed or pressure. On the other hand, the Brush Pen is directional, with the thickness of the strokes depending on the angle at which the stylus is held, providing a more natural and varied look.
Customization and Creativity
Users can now personalize their Draw tab by reordering or deleting pens, allowing for a more customized inking experience.
Platform Limitations
Currently, this feature is limited to Windows platforms. Due to the lack of pen support on macOS, it is not yet available on that platform. However, there may be future implementations for iPadOS or Android.
The Fountain Pen and Brush Pen were popular for adding artistic flourishes to notes and annotations in OneNote, and their integration into Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is expected to bring a similar level of creativity to these applications. To use the new pens in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, you need to be running Version 2508 (Build 19127.20000) or later of those apps.
