A board-aware program is one in which anything you write or draw with a Pen Tray stylus becomes an actual component of that program. Annotations you make over a non-board aware program − such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Notepad software − can be captured using screen-capture tools, but you can’t make actual changes to the program itself. In other words, you can’t save your annotation into the program. While Aware functions transparently, you may want to deactivate it for certain applications if you prefer them not to be board-aware. In other words, if you’d rather not save the annotations you’ve created as a part of the program, you don’t need to. You may prefer to save screen captures of your annotations in a Notebook file, or keep no record whatsoever. NOTE: Check the release notes for the version numbers supported for each application. Macintosh users have access to one third-party board-aware program: Microsoft PowerPoint software for Macintosh computers. The unique touch shortcuts, annotation-capture and printing capabilities available when running PowerPoint software on a Macintosh-connected SMART Board interactive whiteboard are described in Using PowerPoint Software on an Interactive Whiteboard on page 82. Using Microsoft Paint on a SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard Microsoft Paint is one of a number of graphics programs supported by SMART Aware. When you open Paint on an interactive whiteboard, you can use the Pen Tray stylus to draw a picture, instead of using your mouse to draw the picture as you would normally. Similarly, pick up the Pen Tray eraser and erase part of the picture. Or use the Paint toolbox to further enhance the object you’re creating. Now save or print the picture by selecting Save or Print from the Paint File menu. You’ll find you’ve created a bitmap with much greater ease than normal: you have the extralarge canvas of the interactive-whiteboard surface to work on and the artistic control that can only be achieved with a pen in your hand. You’ll also find that Aware offers the same advantages when you’re running CorelDRAW® (version 8.0) or AutoCAD® software. Two Popular Board-Aware Programs: Microsoft NetMeeting® and PowerPoint® Software SMART Aware is especially useful for interactive whiteboard users running NetMeeting and PowerPoint software – two very popular applications for conferencing and presentation purposes respectively. SMART Board User’s Guide
Using Microsoft Word and Excel on an Interactive Whiteboard With this release of SMART Board software, Microsoft Word and Excel are now boardaware. You can enter annotations on the board while using both applications, and you can then save these annotations directly into your document or spreadsheet as either graphics or text. You also have the option of converting your handwritten notes to typed text. If you prefer to capture the annotations you make in Microsoft Word or Excel to Notebook software, you can do so. A Capture/Save toolbar appears whenever you pick up a Pen Tray stylus while working in these applications. This toolbar includes buttons for: • capturing the current screen, including the annotations and application background • capturing a selected area of the screen, including the annotations and application background • inserting your handwritten note or drawing as a graphic in the application you’re using • converting your handwritten note to typed text, and inserting this text in the document or spreadsheet you’re working on Text Injection in Non-Aware Applications Much like Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint software, you still have the option of injecting your handwritten text as typed text in a non-aware application. You can also capture these annotations into Notebook software by using the capture buttons available on the Floating Tools palette or the Save/Print toolbar, which appears whenever you pick up a Pen Tray stylus. NOTE: In non-aware applications, you can’t insert your annotations directly into the application as freehand notes or graphics. Accessing and Exiting the SMART Board Tools (Windows Operating System) During the SMART Board software installation, the setup software will ask if you wish to put the SMART Board tools in your Windows operating system StartUp folder. We recommend that you reply affirmatively, so the SMART Board tools are always available when you start the Windows operating system. (An icon automatically appears in your system tray.) If you close down the SMART Board tools, your SMART Board interactive whiteboard will remain touch sensitive, and you can still use the Pen Tray buttons to create a right-mouse click and access the SMART Keyboard. However, you can’t write over top of an application with a Pen Tray stylus or use any of the other SMART Board tools. To open the SMART Board tools in the Windows operating system: 1 Double-press on the SMART Board Tools icon in the desktop. or Press the Start button in the Task Bar, select Programs > SMART Board Software > SMART Board Tools. The SMART Board icon will appear in the system tray (on the right side of the Task Bar). 2 Press on the SMART Board icon and select an option from the pop-up menu that appears. or SMART Board User’s Guide Win Capture/Save Toolbar Save/Print Toolbar Win 7
