Using Notebook Software
With Notebook software, you can create a presentation that’s full of colorful clip art, graphics
and text from a variety of sources. As you present, keep your audience’s attention by moving,
uncovering and otherwise manipulating these objects. As your audience provides comments
and suggestions, capture their input on a Notebook page by using the many tools available.
All the notes you make are selectable objects on your Notebook page. Also, you can use the
tools in Notebook software to organize, save or print each Notebook page at your workstation
or at the interactive screen.
The simplest way to add notes to a page is to use the physical pen tray tools or the pen tool
buttons in Notebook software to create or erase objects. However, you can also create
annotation objects by using the available menu commands and toolbars, the Gallery, or the
screen capture tools. If you need more details, refer to the Help provided with Notebook
software, which you can access by selecting Help > Notebook Software Help.
NOTE: If you use Notebook software on a computer that’s not connected to any SMART
hardware, you’ll notice a watermark on each Notebook page. This watermark won’t appear on
printed pages, and it disappears as soon as the files are moved to a computer that’s
connected to a SMART interactive product. So, the watermark does not prevent you from
working on Notebook pages on a different computer from the one being used for the
presentation.
Opening Notebook Software
Press and hold the SMART Board icon in the Dock and select Open Notebook. A new file
appears and the Notebook icon is added to the Dock.
Selecting a View
Notebook software has three distinct views: Whiteboard, Page Sorter and Full Screen.
Notebook software always opens in the Whiteboard view. In this view, you can create and edit
objects on the current page and see the pages that make up your file in a vertical strip of
thumbnail images, called the Side Sorter. These thumbnails automatically update as your
page content changes. You can also move objects by dragging them onto a thumbnail or press
a thumbnail to go to a different page. Because all the tools you need to create, import, sort and
edit objects are available in the Whiteboard view, it’s the optimal view for creating a
presentation at your desktop.
The Page Sorter view displays all the pages in your current file as if you physically spread the
pages out on a desk. In this view, you can rearrange the pages by dragging them to new
positions.
Use the Full Screen view to deliver your presentation. This view maximizes the page itself for
better viewing by an audience.
