Automatic Grouping

When you draw or write on an interactive screen, SMART Notebook automatically
groups the objects that you create in close proximity, enabling you to interact with
these objects as a single object. For example, if you write the letters of a word,
SMART Notebook groups the individual letters into a single object, allowing you to
interact with the whole word.
If SMART Notebook groups objects that you want to manipulate individually, ungroup
the objects, as described above.
TIP
If you want to write words on the same line but don't want SMART Notebook to
group them automatically, leave a large gap between them, use different pens or
put the pen back in the pen tray briefly before writing another word.
