The point eraser isn't available for Excel yet.

Select Point Eraser and you're ready to erase. To use it select the eraser - it's next to the Lasso - then select the eraser button a second time to drop down the eraser options. That works more like an eraser you'd have on a real pencil, only the ink you pass the eraser over will be erased. If you just want to erase part of an ink stroke you'll want to use the new point eraser. That's a quick way to quickly clean up your ink, but it's not very precise. The eraser you've had in Word has been a stroke eraser, which means when you swiped the eraser across the ink it would erase the whole stroke at once.

Point EraserĪnother feature that PowerPoint has had for a while, that's now in Word, is the point eraser. It doesn't have to be a perfect circle, just draw the Lasso around the ink, whatever the shape, and it will be selected. Select the Lasso (you'll find it on the left end of the pen toolbox) then draw around the ink you want to select. Once it's selected you can change, move, or delete the ink. You can select individual strokes or entire words or shapes. You use the Lasso to select ink on your document. LassoĮxcel and PowerPoint have had the Lasso for a while, and now it's in Word. Tip: If you have a touch-enabled device, like a Microsoft Surface, you can also tap the Action Pen and just use your finger to edit.
