Chapter 3
The SMART Notebook
Window
In SMART Notebook, you can create .notebook files that include graphics, text, tables,
lines, shapes, animations and more. Present your file and keep your class's attention
as you move and interact with these objects. When your class provides comments
and suggestions, write their input on the page using digital ink. You can open
.notebook files in SMART Notebook on a Windows, Mac or Linux operating system.
You can also export your file in a variety of formats, including HTML and PDF.
The SMART Notebook window provides a number of ways to look at and interact with
a .notebook file.
• The whiteboard area displays the current page and enables you to create, edit
and manipulate objects on a page.
• The Page Sorter displays thumbnails of the pages in the current file. It allows you
to organize pages and move objects from page to page. View any page by
pressing its thumbnail in the Page Sorter.
• The Gallery contains clip art, backgrounds, .notebook files and pages that you can
use in your presentations. Thumbnails within the Gallery provide previews of
gallery content images. The Gallery also provides access to other online
resources.
• The Attachments tab enables you to attach a copy of a file, a shortcut to a file or a
Web page link to your file.
• The Properties tab enables you to change the options for the currently selected
object. For example, if you select a shape, the Properties tab displays options for
fill effects, line style and object animation.
• The SMART Notebook toolbar enables you to select and use a variety of
commands and tools.
