Notebook Software

Using Notebook Software for the First Time

To launch Notebook software, press the SMART Board icon in the Windows Notification
Area in the bottom right of your screen, and select Notebook. Or, press the Start button
in the bottom left of your screen, and select Programs > SMART Board Software >
SMART Notebook.
A new Notebook file will open. Each new Notebook file
contains a work area that can be filled with objects.
Handwritten notes, typed text, graphics, clip art and Flash files
are all examples of what you can add to a Notebook file.
A key feature of Notebook software is the ability to add as
many pages as you need to capture or display information.
Notebook Software Toolbar
The Notebook software toolbar gives you access to a number
of tools to help you work with your Notebook file. By default, the toolbar appears at the top of the Notebook
page. If you prefer to sit, or are working with young students, it may be more convenient to move the toolbar
to the bottom of the page. To do this, press the down arrow on the far right of the toolbar.
