Ink Tools Not Available in MS Word 2013 With External Tablet

Hello,

I recently bought a Wacom Bamboo writing tablet to take notes on class handouts in MS Word. When I control my cursor with the tablet, the Ink Tools> Pens section appears in the top ribbon, but when I tap on it, everything but the options for Thickness and Select Objects tool are greyed out, disallowing me from writing on the document.

The only solution I've been able to find is to go to Turn Windows Features On and Off and select Tablet PC Components, which is already checked off.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks,

Kaylee
