Hi all,

Wondering if anyone knows what might be wrong.  When using the Inking tool in Powerpoint 2016 the teacher I'm helping can start the inking tool, pick a colour and thinkness of the writing point but there is no Markup when he tries to draw on either his tablet or mouse.

He tried:

  1. reinstalling Office 2016
  2. Makign sure all Office updates were complete
  3. Office 2010 Powerpoint works fine
  4. Google doesn't appear to have any suggestions on this one :-(

Any idears?

Thanks,

Randy

    Same issue as MbabaneVH - Inking in Word is still not working. Microsoft® Word 2016 MSO (16.0.14326.20062) 32-bit for me.

    If you open Word, and go to File -> Account -> "About Word", what is the number in parentheses at the top (should be above License ID at the top)
