Ok so what I would like is to have a MS Word template, and be able to insert text onto it - but also to draw onto it.

Basically I would like to use a form for customers to sign on my N900 and I wondered if there was anyway to accomplish this?

I have an old tablet PC at home, and in Word I use the 'ink' function to simply draw onto the document, and would love to see this ability on the N900.

I've tried using office to go but it's quite limited, and koffice doesn't seem to do it either.

Of course if anyone has a better suggestion for achieving this then please let me know. My document currently contains a few fields about customer and computer information with a disclaimer and a signature box at the bottom

Export your doc to pdf and open it in Xournal; therefore you can add your layer with text and scribbling. Then, you can export back to pdf.

If you don't have a computer handy, you can use OpenOffice in Easy Debian to export various supported word processing documents to .pdf

thanks for the advice, but this sounds like a lot of faffing around. I'd have to write onto the word document, save it as a PDF, open it in another app just to get handwriting onto it.

Are there no apps that can open a word document and import an image? - it might be easier to just use the sketch app and save as image then import it rather than above

Openoffice will open word docs and import an image. I tried sketching on a text page with it, and it can be done, but lines are converted in splines and this isn't good for signing
