Abstract
A digitizer system includes a pointer (e.g. stylus or puck) for manipulation by a user over a work surface of a tablet. The tablet includes a menu strip area thereon. According to certain embodiments of this invention, the cursor shape shown on the display is changed as a function of the pointer's position within the menu strip area of the tablet. In certain embodiments, phsyical structure (e.g. bumps, dimples, ridges, or the like) is provided in or on the surface of the tablet proximate the menu area so that the user can tell that the pointer is located in the menu area without having to look down at the tablet.
