Using Notebook Software for Object Creation Tip You can create multi-page files with Notebook software. If you reach the bottom of the current page, start writing on a new page. For Windows operating systems, select Blank Page from the Insert menu. For Macintosh computers, select New Page from the Insert menu. Win If you’re running Notebook software on an interactive whiteboard, use the Pen Tray tools to create or erase annotation objects. This is the simplest, easiest and most natural method of creating annotations on the board. You can also use the Pen Tray buttons to move to the next page or perform right-mouse clicks (Windows operating systems only). However, you also have the option of using various object-creation tools available from the command menus and toolbars. These tools are especially useful if you’re creating a presentation in Notebook software at your desktop computer. Either way, whatever you create becomes an individual annotation object that you can select and change. In the Windows operating system, Notebook software has built-in handwriting recognition so you can easily convert your freehand writing into typed text. Just select the handwritten object, then press on the letter A button that appears in the top-right corner of the selection box. Your writing will convert to typed-text format. To create an object in Notebook software, begin by pressing on a toolbar button or selecting the tool from the Draw menu. The second step is to select visual attributes for that tool − such as the color, line width, font and font characteristics. See Changing Object Attributes on page 53 for more information. Opening Notebook Software Notebook software will automatically launch when you use any of the screen-capture tools available in either the Windows or Macintosh version of SMART Board tools. However, you may also want to open Notebook software to prepare a presentation before a meeting or to write notes during the course of a meeting. If you are using Notebook software on a computer that's not connected to SMART equipment (such as a SMART Board interactive whiteboard, a Sympodium interactive lectern or a Camfire whiteboard capture system), your pages in the Notebook file will have a watermark in the background. This watermark won't be saved with your file, nor will it appear if you print your pages. As soon as you connect your computer to SMART equipment and open Notebook software, the watermark disappears. To open Notebook software: For Mac operating systems, press the SMART Board icon in the menu bar or the Dock and select Notebook. For the Windows operating systems, press on the SMART Board icon in the system tray and select Notebook. NOTE: In Mac operating systems, Notebook software will automatically launch when you select Capture Screen or Capture Selection from the SMART Board tools drop-down menu. In Windows operating systems, Notebook software will automatically launch when you press the Screen Capture button in the Floating Tools or in the Save/Print toolbar. 46 SMART Board User’s Guide
Writing with the Pen Tool To write with the Pen tool: 1 Select Pen from the Draw menu. or Press the Pen toolbar button. When moved over the workspace, the cursor becomes a pen icon. 2 Select an appropriate color by pressing the Color button in the toolbar, and then pressing on a color from the color palette. Alternatively, if you’re using the Windows operating system, you can select from a 48color palette by selecting Current Color from the Format menu, or by pressing on the Current Color button on the extreme left edge of the Status Bar. 3 You can also select a line width for your freehand annotation by choosing Line Width from the Format menu or pressing the Line Width button in the toolbar, and then selecting one of the six displayed widths. 4 Press and drag with the pen cursor, or, if you are working on a projected SMART Board interactive whiteboard, touch the board and drag with your finger or any pointing device to create a freehand annotation object. Notebook software automatically groups together objects created in close proximity. However, you can easily ungroup these objects by following the instructions on page 52, and then individually select and modify, move, delete or resize each object. 5 You can convert what you’ve written by hand into typed text by selecting the object and pressing on the letter A that appears in the upper-right corner of the selection box. To highlight an object: 1 Select Highlighter from the Draw menu. or Press the Highlighter button in the toolbar. When moved over the workspace, the cursor becomes a highlighter icon. 2 Select the color and line width for the highlighter as described in steps 2 and 3 in the previous procedure. 3 Press and drag with the highlighter cursor, or, if you’re working on a projected SMART Board interactive whiteboard, touch the board and drag with your finger or any pointing device to create a freehand annotation object. Notebook software automatically groups together objects created in close proximity. However, you can easily ungroup these objects by following the instructions on page 52, and then individually select and modify, move, delete or resize each object.
