I can't find the question, but seems like I remember someone asking about using their wacom tablet on wide screens, or across two screens or something like that. Maybe this will help.

TIP: Screen Mapping Your Intuos Pen Tablet
Changing the active area on your tablet can be useful if you switch to a wide-format monitor, add a second monitor, or you just want to navigate faster in your web browser. Simply follow these steps on your PC (Mac): click on the Start menu (Apple menu) > Control Panel (System Preferences) > Wacom Tablet properties > Pen tab > Pen mode > Details > Portion > Set. Click and drag the corners of your screen icon to resize your active area. Click OK and you're finished.

I was just given a graphire 3 (pretty small), but I thought it would be good to experiment with (Ugh, it's like pulling teeth, SOOOOO sensitive!) Does anyone know of anything that would be a good way to practice, or just jump in - I want to start out right.

Thanks :)

Put your mouse in a drawer for two weeks. Use the tablet exclusively. It'll be odd at first but it's the best way to adjust to the tablet.

OK you got it - If you don't see me for awhile - I'm in the drawer, too....

Thanks,
