I often end up using hard-copy notes for public speaking because it allows me to write in some handwritten adjustments to the MS Word text. I really want to go to using a tablet for this and be rid of hard-copy notes entirely. So... how do I do this?



If I had a MS Surface Pro 3 or similar device and I have my completed MS Word document, how would I go about making handwritten notes on my document? I assume this would require a syylus or pen? Could I use multiple colors? Also, once a handwritten note is made on a particular section of the page (let's say something as simple as circling a word of text)... could that note be removed from the page in the event that I made a mistake. Would this be able to be done without messing up my original document? Would these kinds of changes be able to be permanently saved in the document? Once completed... would it remain a Word document or would it need to be import into another program?

A lot, I know... but thank you all in advance for your patience.
