Using Notebook Software for Object Creation
If you’re running Notebook software on an interactive product, 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
screen.
However, a number of object-creation tools are available from the menus and toolbars. These tools are
especially useful if you’re creating a presentation at your desktop computer using Notebook software.
No matter how you annotate, the annotation becomes an individual object (or a single grouping of objects)
that you can select and change. To create an object in Notebook software, press a toolbar button or select
a command from the Draw menu. Then, select the visual attributes for that tool − such as the color, line
width, font and font characteristics. See Editing Objects in Notebook Software on page 21 for more
information.
You can create your Notebook file at a computer not connected to your SMART hardware. Simply use your
mouse and keyboard to create objects.
Opening Notebook Software
Open Notebook software before you perform a screen capture using the SMART Board tools. Also, you’ll
want Notebook software open so you can prepare a presentation before a meeting or write notes during a
meeting.
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. Select Insert > New Page.
To open Notebook software:
1 Press the SMART Board icon in the menu bar and select SMART Notebook.
Views in Notebook Software
