CAPTURING AND PRINTING ANNOTATIONS

LEARN

TERMS YOU MAY NEED TO KNOW:

Board-aware applications: programs that recognize SMART Board annotations as integral parts of the program. Some examples are CorelDRAW, Microsoft Paint and Microsoft PowerPoint (in Slide Show mode).

Non-Board-aware applications: programs that do not recognize SMART Board annotations as elements of the program. Examples include Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel or the Internet.

Before You Start:
This module assumes that your computer is running, that the Smart Board is connected and that you have already oriented the Smart board (modules 1 and 2). The Smart Board becomes touch sensitive as soon as you start your computer. Any time you touch the Smart Board, your finger acts as a left-click. Press on the Smart Board surface to open applications, select objects and perform any operation that requires a left click.

For tasks that require a double-click, press the Smart board twice in rapid succession.
For tasks that require a right-click, press the Right Mouse button the pen tray. Your next press
will be recognized as a right-click.
You can also press and hold the area of the screen you would like the Smart board to recognize
as a right-click.

1 How to Capture Written Annotations
Open up any Microsoft Word document. Find the 3 capture buttons also known as the Save/Print Toolbar
The first button captures the current screen, including annotations and application background. The second button captures a selected area of the screen including both the annotations and application background. The third button sends the annotations plus the application background to the default printer. Close the Microsoft Word document.
Open up a page from the Internet Pick up a pen from the tray. As soon as you pick up a pen in a non-board aware program (Internet), the Save/Print toolbar will appear. Make annotations on the board with the pen or your finger tip. Press the first button (camera icon) to capture both the application background and the annotations. The annotation and background will be sent to a page in Notebook. If it's not already open, Notebook will be launched automatically
Open Notebook to view the capture results.
Using the same page from the Internet Pick up a pen from the tray. As soon as you pick up a pen in a non-board aware program (Internet), the Save/Print toolbar will appear.. Press the second button and drag around the area of the screen that you want to capture (in the illustration shown--the hole layout for a golf course hole) The illustration will be sent to a page in Notebook. If it's not already open, Notebook will be launched automatically
Open Notebook to view the capture results.
Pressing the third button sends the annotations plus the application background to the default printer.
