Using Ink Aware
Ink Aware integrates SMART software with applications including Microsoft Word,

write or draw on your interactive whiteboard becomes embedded in the file, rather
than an external note created over the file.

The SMART control panel opens.
2. Press Configure SMART Tools.

the programs in the list.
