• If you draw or write multiple objects, SMART Notebook groups the objects
automatically, enabling you to interact with them as a single object. For
example, if you write the letters of a word, SMART Notebook groups the
individual letters, allowing you to interact with the whole word. If you want to
write words on the same line but don't want them grouped, leave a large gap
between them, use different pens, or briefly put the pen in the pen tray before
writing another word (interactive whiteboards only).
• If you want to write diagonally, write in a straight line, and then rotate it.
• If you want to write in small letters, write large characters, and then reduce
their size.
You can customize the appearance of digital ink, including its thickness, color, line
style and more.
