SimplySmart Smart Board Software For Mac OS X 99-00557-01 - Manual (Page 20)

14 Using Notebook Software Macintosh Version
In all views, you’ll see a toolbar for accessing the functions available in that view. For example,
the Full Screen view includes a toolbar for navigating through the pages of your file and for
returning to the Whiteboard view. Similarly, in the Whiteboard or Page Sorter view, you can
access either the Simple toolbar or the Standard toolbar. These two toolbars provide a variety
of shortcuts for performing tasks in Notebook software, including object-creation, navigation,
file management and editing functions. You can switch between these two toolbars by
checking or unchecking View > Simple Toolbar. For a complete list of toolbar actions and
shortcuts, see page 30.
Creating Objects on a Notebook Page
You can create text, graphics and shapes on a Notebook page using the styluses in the pen
tray or one of the following methods:
• typing text (this page)
• drawing objects using the pen tool (page 15)
• hand writing recognition (page 15)
• creating geometric shapes (page 16)
• inserting pictures (page 16)
You can only create annotations in the Whiteboard and Full Screen views. As you annotate,
Notebook software automatically groups objects that you create in close proximity, such as
handwritten letters. However, you can easily ungroup these objects (page 18) or rearrange
them (page 19).
For complete details on object creation, refer to the book entitled Creating and Editing Objects
in the Notebook software Help.
To enter typed text on a Notebook page, just start typing. A text box appears, enlarging as you
add more text, and automatically wrapping when you reach the edge of the workspace. When
you finish entering text, press outside the text box.
If you want, you can create a custom-sized text box before you begin typing by selecting
Draw > Text, and then dragging a selection handle to adjust the size. Also, you can resize an
existing text box using the Select tool. With a custom-sized text box, the text automatically
wraps at the right boundary, so it remains within the width you established.
TIP
If you’re unsure of what function a toolbar button performs, hover over the
button to read its name.
Typing Text
TIP
Consider using the on-screen keyboard for any keyboard input that you need
to do at the interactive screen. By using this keyboard, you don’t have to move
away from the screen to enter typed text on a Notebook page.
