A data input system (3) ideally suited for pen-based portable computers (1) having a limited writing area. A user selects a pre-defined data display field (11), whereupon an enlarged ink input field (14) is displayed. The user may select whether the ink input is to be saved as an ink data type, or recognized and converted to text characters. If the user accepts the ink input as an ink data type, then the ink is reduced sufficiently to fit within the original data display field, and the data display field (11) is automatically resized to accommodate the ink that was entered in the enlarged ink input field (14). If the user accepts the ink input for recognition, then the computer recognizes the ink input as text characters, and displays the text characters in the data display field (11). Reduced ink input may be processed at a later time to recognize the ink input as text characters. |
