A number of use a Wacom and this could be place to share tips we have learned while using the Wacom. I know it took me a few hours of use before I put my mouse away.
Tip #1 Get your mouse off your desk and don't even take the Wacom mouse out of it's box.
Tip #2 Download the Manual and keep it on your desk.
Tip #3 The tutorials on the Wacom site are great skill builders.

Sharing tips will help all of us get better with the Wacom.

Tip #4 Download the your Wacom manual and use it from the computer to view the manual. Another manual on a busy desk is likely to be used as often. I often leave the manual open on my computer while I work with my Wacom. I have all my hardware manuals in the same file with my Wacom for ease of access.
