Importing Information into Notebook Software Win Notebook software allows you to save images or text from other applications into the current Notebook file. The objects you import can then be resized, moved to another location on the page, or cut or copied and then pasted into another page or file. This section separately describes import methods for Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Macintosh computer users should turn to page 68 for details on importing information into Notebook software. Import Methods for Windows Operating Systems Notebook software provides you with a variety of import methods. Your choice of import method will largely depend on the kind of information you want to bring into the Notebook file. In this section, you will learn how to: • capture application windows plus your annotations into the Notebook file as two separate objects, and send them to your default printer • capture only your annotations into the Notebook file without the application window background • capture entire screens, windows or screen regions using the Screen Capture tool • print entire multi-page Windows files directly into a Notebook file with the Print Capture function • import a scanned picture directly into a Notebook file • import graphics and clip art directly into a Notebook file • cut or copy either text or graphics to the clipboard and then paste the contents into a Notebook file • drag and drop text or graphics from other Windows applications via the Windows Task Bar into a Notebook file Capturing Pen Tray Annotations A board-aware program recognizes writing on the interactive whiteboard as program components rather than as external annotations, so you can save what you write within the program itself. SMART Notebook software itself and the third-party applications listed on page 77 are all examples of board-aware programs. When you pick up a stylus to write over a program that is not board-aware, you’ll notice the Save/Print toolbar. This toolbar has been specifically designed for capturing or printing Pen Tray annotations made over non-aware applications into the current Notebook file. NOTE: If the Floating Tools are open when you pick up a stylus to write over a program that is not board-aware, the buttons in the Save/Print toolbar will be added to the bottom row of the Floating Tools palette. To capture or print your current annotation: 1 Pick up a Pen Tray stylus. The Save/Print toolbar will appear on the screen. 64 SMART Board User’s Guide
