presentations or capturing notes in a brainstorming session. It also serves as a receptacle for
anything you write on the interactive whiteboard over any application.
If you want to capture the annotations you make with a pen tray stylus over other programs, select
Screen Capture from the View menu and then minimize the Notebook software window. A three-
button Screen Capture toolbar will float on top of all your applications. You can now capture your
annotation with a press of a button. Macintosh computer users can access the same annotation-
capture capability from the SMART Board Tools menu. The captured image is automatically placed
on a new page of the current Notebook file.
To write into Notebook software, leave the Notebook window open and maximized. If you want an
even larger area for writing or brainstorming, select Full Screen from the View menu.
Using the Floating Tools
The Floating Tools are a virtual version of the pen tray tools. Press the Pen button, for example, and
your next contact with the interactive whiteboard produces electronic ink. In addition, the default
Floating Tools palette includes a number of tools that you won't find in your pen tray, such as tools for
producing a right-mouse click, displaying a large pointer, producing a spotlight, capturing your
annotations and restoring cleared annotations. You can edit the default palette of tools and save this
customized palette in a user profile that you can activate each time you use the interactive
whiteboard.
Two Buttons to Note: The Restore/Clear Annotations and Screen Capture Buttons
Clear Annotations
The Restore/Clear Annotations button is a great reason to keep the Floating Tools open. When you
write something on the interactive whiteboard, the button is in its Clear Annotations state; as soon as
Restore Annotations
you delete an annotation, the button changes to Restore Annotations.
Let's say you've written an important note, but your elbow grazes the interactive whiteboard as you
turn towards your audience: the annotation you just made disappears. Just press the Restore
Annotations button and your note reappears. If you haven't activated the Floating Tools, don't worry.
Press the SMART Board icon, select Floating Tools, and then press the Restore Annotations
button. The last cleared annotation – in this case, the one you accidentally lost – reappears.
