Microsoft hopes to support more countries and exchanges in the future. If not in the US, you need to set your region to the United States in “Time and Language” settings for this feature to work. You can write either the ticker symbol or the name of the company-for example, “Microsoft Stock” (see image above). For instance, you can make price information appear by typing a “$” before the ticker symbol for a company-for example, “$MSFT.” Or, if you reference “x” stock, where “x” is the name of a publicly traded company in the US, pricing info also appears. The app enables you to do this in a number of ways. If you trade on the US stock market, Sticky Notes can use Bing to provide you with real-time trading prices. Once the system update is complete, launch Sticky Notes by clicking the Windows button, and scrolling to Microsoft Sticky Notes (see image above). Double-check this by closing and saving any open files, then clicking the Windows icon, followed by the “settings” icon, and going to the “Update and Security” section. If your system is up to date, it should already include the latest version of Sticky Notes (2.x). Luckily, there is an easy way to fix this (see below). Windows 7/8 veterans who have used previous iterations of this app may find that their notes don’t automatically copy across to the new version.
Users of Surface Pens will find that Sticky Notes faithfully preserve your scrawlings in your own handwriting. If you are dabbling in investments, Sticky Notes can also provide you with the latest stock prices. If you’ve written down any phone numbers, just click these inside any note to automatically make a call via Skype or similar.
