Modifying the Floating Tools

If you want, you can change the color, size and transparency of the annotation tools so they
suit your presentation needs.

1. Press the Configure Floating Tools button.

The Configure Floating Tools dialog box appears.

2. Select the drawing tool you want to configure from the Tool list.

3. Select a width between 1 and 32 pixels for the selected tool in the Width box.

4. Select a color from the 16-color palette under Color.

5. Press OK.

Adding Text with the SMART Keyboard

Although your interactive product is a great tool for presenting information, there are situations
where you need to use a keyboard. For example, to rename a file you’re saving, you must type
the new name in the Save As dialog box. You can do this without moving to a physical
keyboard by using the SMART Keyboard to type into a dialog box right at the interactive
screen.

To open the SMART Keyboard, press and hold the SMART Board icon in the Dock and select
Open Keyboard. For more information about SMART Keyboard, read the Help file.

NOTE: You must have a SMART product connected to your computer to use the SMART
Keyboard.

To change a drawing tool

TIP

Double-press the Pen, Highlighter, Rectangle, Ellipse or Line tool
for the Configure Floating Tools dialog box to open with that tool
selected in the Tool list.

TIPS

You can also press the Keyboard button on the pen tray or the function
buttons on the interactive pen display to open the SMART Keyboard.

You can drag the keyboard to any screen location or even resize it. To try
ten-fingered typing, move the keyboard to a relatively high location and resize
it to suit your hand size.
