New Ink for Word plugin for Word 2003 and 2007

Phil Crosby and Michael Quinn are working on an add-in for Microsoft Word (2003 & 2007) that extends the ink functionality of those programs on a Tablet PC.  They have posted a video of Ink for Word that shows some of the things you can do on a Tablet PC with Word documents and it certainly looks sweet.  The add-in lets you ink all over the document and when you change things the ink stays with the text properly, which is very nice.  You can also ink comments in the left margin and add proof-reading marks that will reflow with the document when changes are made.  The video shows adding a comment in the left margin and drawing a line from the comment to a circled word and when you change the document Ink for Word will extend or shorten the line as necessary to keep it pointed to the circled word.  A full set of editing commands are available too.  The add-in is in an early pre-alpha stage and you can find more information on the Ink for Word web site.
