Importing Information into Notebook

Notebook allows you to save images or text from other applications into the current Notebook
file. The objects you import can then be resized, moved to another location on the page, or
cut or copied and then pasted into another page or file.
This section separately describes import methods for Windows and Macintosh users.
Macintosh users should turn to page 58 for details on importing information into Notebook.

Import Methods for Windows Users

Notebook provides you with a variety of import methods. Your choice of import method will
Win
largely depend on the kind of information you want to bring into Notebook. In this section, you
will learn to:
•
capture application windows plus your annotations as two separate objects in
Notebook or send them to your default printer
•
capture only your annotations as a separate object in Notebook without the application
window background
•
capture entire screens, windows or screen regions using the Screen Capture tool of
Notebook
•
print entire multi-page Windows files directly into a Notebook file with the Print Capture
function
•
import a scanned picture directly into a Notebook file
•
import graphics and clip art directly into a Notebook file
• cut or copy either text or graphics to the clipboard and then paste the contents into
Notebook
•
drag and drop text or graphics from other Windows applications via the Windows Task
Bar into Notebook

Capturing Pen Tray Annotations for Windows Users

A Board-aware program recognizes writing on the Board as integral program components
rather than as external annotations, so you can save what you write within the program itself.
SMART Notebook and the Board-aware third-party applications listed on page 67 are all
examples of Board-aware programs.
When you pick up a stylus to write over a program that is not Board-aware, you'll notice the
Save/Print toolbar. This toolbar has been specifically designed to capture Pen Tray
annotations made over such applications into SMART Notebook.
NOTE: If the Floating Tools are open when you pick up a stylus to write over a program that
is not Board-aware, the buttons in the Save/Print toolbar will be added to the bottom row of
the Floating Tools palette.
The first button in the Save/Print toolbar allows you to save what you've written, as well as
the application background image, into Notebook without actually switching to the program.
The middle button lets you capture an area of the screen into Notebook. The last button
sends the annotations together with the application background to the default printer.
