I have an issue taking notes with both programs on my surface with the pen. I can add notes and nice text with the pen to any document. When saved and then opened for reviewing looks like scribbled garbage. Any ideas????
First, check for updates (windows and Office).
If everything is up to date, I would run a repair on Office. I have been taking notes in PowerPoint and Word since day 1, and have no problems.
I believe I read some where it has to do with the reader see the pen notes. I read Ms is aware of it. Do you have the same issue if you use adobe to read the notes?
Interesting. Are you printing to PDF and then annotating in Reader, or natively using PowerPoint and Word's ink annotation features?
If it's the latter, then that's a new issue. But if it's the former (which my guess is that it is just based on the multiple slide layout in the image) then it's just a problem with the PDF Reader app that Microsoft hasn't fixed yet.
