Smart Notebook Tip

Ever had that REALLY cool visual that you wanted to be able to write on with the Smart Board, modify, and/or save with your notes?  I’ve often been frustrated because Microsoft Office will let you write, but what you write won’t stay with the text in the program.  Same thing goes for Adobe PDFs.  Did you know you can put your documents/text into Smart Notebook?  A really cool feature is Smart Notebook Print Capture.  It’s very simple but SO cool!  First, make sure you do not have any Smart Notebook applications open (unless you want to insert this into an existing Smart Notebook document). Then, open the item you would like to put into Smart Notebook.  Click on “Print”.  Once your print dialogue box opens up, select “SMART Notebook Print Capture” as your “printer”.  Click on “print”.  Your document/text will then be imported into Smart Notebook.  You can then write on it and add  pictures and notes AND save it so that you can refer to it again without all of your work disappearing.  Hope this works for you!  I use this all the time with writing and math activities.  What a great “hidden” aspect of Smart Notebook!
