then clicking on a color from the resulting palette. You can also
select a line width by clicking first on the Line Width button, and

Tray eraser to erase it. First select the object, then activate the
Delete command or press the Delete key. See "Editing Objects
on the SMART Board" on page 29 for more information on

you selected.
The shape will appear in the same color as the selected pen.

Creating a Notebook Text Box

When you use the Text Tool, you can either use the default standard
Text Box size or click and drag to create a custom-sized Text Box. You
should make the box the approximate width of the text you are adding.
The text will automatically wrap at the right boundary, so it remains
within the width you've established.
You can resize a Text Box after you've created it, but the text inside will
remain the same size. The text will, however, rewrap according to the
new box width.
