Accessing And Exiting Smart Board Tools For Windows - Smart Technologies SMART BOARD User Manual

Using Microsoft Paint on a SMART Board
Microsoft Paint is one of the graphics programs supported by SMART Aware. When you
open Paint on a SMART Board, you can use the Pen Tray stylus to draw a picture – instead
of using your mouse to select and then manipulate a tool from the Paint toolbox, as you
would normally. Similarly, pick up the Pen Tray eraser and erase part of the picture. Or use
the Paint toolbox to further enhance the object you're creating. Now save or print the picture
by selecting Save or Print from the Paint File menu or send it to a printer in the same way.
You'll find you've created a bitmap with much greater ease than normal: you have the extra-
large canvas of the SMART Board surface to work on and the artistic control that can only be
achieved with a pen in your hand. You'll also find that Aware offers the same advantages
when you're running CorelDRAW (version 8.0) or AutoCAD.
Two Popular Board-Aware Programs: NetMeeting and PowerPoint
SMART Aware is especially useful for SMART Board users running NetMeeting and
PowerPoint – two very popular applications for conferencing and presentation purposes
respectively. Although Aware operates very much in the background, it greatly enhances the
effectiveness of both these applications. Turn to Using PowerPoint on a SMART Board on
page 70 and Working with Board-Aware Third-Party Applications on page 67 for more
information.

Accessing and Exiting SMART Board Tools for Windows

We recommend that you put SMART Board tools in your Windows StartUp folder. During the
SMART Board Software installation, you'll be asked if you wish to do this. If you reply
affirmatively, whenever you activate Windows, SMART Board tools will automatically be
available to you in the form of the SMART Board icon residing in your System Tray.
If you close down SMART Board tools, your SMART Board will remain touch sensitive, and
you can still use the Pen Tray buttons to create a right-mouse click and access the SMART
Keyboard. However, you will not be able to write over top of an application with a Pen Tray
stylus or use any of the other SMART Board tools.
