Know your gear
You can use the Surface Pen to draw and take notes in apps. Mark up PowerPoint presentations, Adobe PDF files, or Word documents just as you would on paper. Or get creative and draw something in Fresh Paint - a drawing app available in the Windows Store. The Surface Pen can also be used like a mouse. Switch seamlessly between touch, pen, mouse, and keyboard. Palm block technology lets you write comfortably without worrying about your hand touching the screen.
