Editing Objects in Notebook Software

You can modify the objects on a page in either the Whiteboard or Full Screen view. However,
before you can edit an object, you must select it. Do this by pressing the object on the
interactive screen. If another tool is active, you may need to press the Select button before
you press the object in the Whiteboard view. When you select an object, a selection rectangle
appears around it, with both a resize and a rotation handle.

NOTE: If you select hand-drawn shapes, letters or numbers, a Convert-to-Text button will
appear in addition to the resize and rotation handles.

You can select multiple objects by dragging the pointer to draw a rectangle around them or by
holding down the Shift key as you press each one. To select all the objects on a page, press
Edit > Select All.

After you select one or more objects, you can edit them in a variety of ways. For example, you
can:

copy or move objects (page 18)

rotate and resize objects (page 18)

group or ungroup objects (page 18)

move objects to the background and retrieve them later (page 18)

reorder objects within a stack (page 19)

modify text and non-text objects (page 19)

link objects to a website or a document on your computer (page 19)

erase or delete objects (page 19)

For complete details on editing Notebook software objects, open the book entitled Creating
and Editing Objects
in the Notebook software Help.
