Questions
Can I use my own handwriting?
Yes. Choose "My own" and draw each letter once on the pad. Your letters stay in this browser.
Will the pictures and layout stay?
Yes, with "Keep the design". Pages, pictures and layout stay the same; only the text becomes handwriting, line by line.
Can headings stay typed?
Yes. With Keep the design, turn on "Keep titles typed". Lines clearly bigger than the body text stay as they are.
Does it write Hindi?
The Kalam style has Hindi letters too. Joined Hindi letters are not drawn yet.
