“Notebooks cannot accept chem formulas”?

What do you mean, “can’t accept”? Is there some sort of special software chemistry majors need to use that only runs on a tablet?

I can type a formula into Word on my desktop, my husband’s laptop, our buddy’s iPhone, and what I type displays right there. Heck, it works in Outlook also - I just tried. To do it in Excel, I need to format the cell for text, but even that works.

She wants to be able to write formulas and symbols. What I meant by “not accept” is that the standard keyboard doesn’t include all of the symbols. In addition, One Note converts handwriting to text, with the formulas and symbols imbedded, and then allows the user to organize, search by word, create study documents, pretty useful stuff.
