The SMART Board was designed to maximize the power of presentations. A variety of
features – both hardware- and software-based – make the job of presenting information in an
interactive fashion easy for the presenter and stimulating for the audience.

Customizing the SMART Board Interface

The SMART Board interface can be easily customized to suit your changing needs. For
example, when developing presentation materials, use Notebook in Normal rather than Full
Screen view. All the tools required to create, import and edit annotation objects are available
from Normal view's menu commands and toolbars, making it the optimal setting for creating
or revising annotation objects − in other words, for creating presentations and taking notes.
To present that same material on a SMART Board, however, the enlarged viewing space
provided in Full Screen view, free of all toolbar clutter, is preferable.

Full Screen View

You can use SMART Notebook in Normal view − that is, from a resizable, movable window
with a command menu, scroll, tool and title bars − or in Full Screen view. Full Screen view
maximizes available workspace on the SMART Board or computer screen: it takes up the
entire SMART Board or screen, and neither menu, toolbar(s), title bar, scroll bars, Windows
Task Bar nor Status Bar are visible.
To activate Full Screen view in Windows:
1 Select Full Screen from the View menu.
or
Press Ctrl + F.
or
Press the Full Screen button on the right side of the Status Bar.
The title, menu, task and scroll bars will disappear and the Notebook window will
appear enlarged, filling the entire SMART Board.
In Windows, a small three-button toolbar enables you to navigate through your
presentation, return to Normal view, and keep track of the time with the system clock.
