40 CHAPTER 4 CREATING BASIC OBJECTS Text Tables Writing, drawing and erasing digital ink Digital ink is freehand text r bjects that yu create using yur interactive display s pen r pens, r the SMART Ntebk sftware Pens tl. Writing r drawing digital ink enables yu t quickly add cntent t yur SMART Ntebk sftware files, either when creating the files r when presenting the files t students. Once yu have created digital ink, yu can erase it. Writing r drawing digital ink The easiest way t write r draw digital ink is t use yur interactive display s pen r pens. Yu can als create freehand bjects using the Pens tl. The Pens tl enables yu t write r draw digital ink using the fllwing pen types: Pen type Purpse and example Ntes Standard Calligraphic Write r draw digital ink in a variety f clurs and line styles. Write r draw digital ink, like yu d with the Standard pen type, but with lines f varying thickness. Using the Standard pen type, yu can write r draw digital ink that fades after a few secnds (see Using the Standard pen type t create fading bjects n page 170). The Calligraphic pen type is useful fr teaching students handwriting. Crayn Write r draw crayn-like digital ink. The Crayn pen type is intended fr artistic wrk, such as painting and cluring pictures, rather than writing. Highlighter Highlight text and ther bjects. 34

55 CHAPTER 4 CREATING BASIC OBJECTS Yu can als cut r cpy a table frm a.ntebk file and then paste it int Wrd r PwerPint. Hwever, the table s frmatting and layut can vary when the table appears in Wrd r PwerPint. If yu re pasting a table int PwerPint which has cells that cntain nn-text bjects, the nn-text bjects appear utside f the table in PwerPint. Adding bjects t tables Once yu have inserted a table n a page, yu can insert bjects int the table s cells. Yu can add nly ne bject t each cell. If yu want t add multiple bjects t a cell, d ne f the fllwing: Grup the bjects befre adding them t the table (see Gruping bjects n page 72). Select all f the bjects at nce and then add them t the table as described in the fllwing prcedure. SMART Ntebk sftware autmatically grups the bjects in the table cell. T add an bject t a table 1. Select the bject. 2. Drag the bject t the table cell. Yu re unable t mve an bject if it s lcked in place (see Lcking bjects n page 107). The bject appears in the table cell.

80 CHAPTER 5 WORKING WITH OBJECTS T ungrup bjects Quickly shake yur finger ver the grup three times. Gruping bjects autmatically If yu write r draw multiple lines, SMART Ntebk sftware autmatically cmbines the lines int a single bject. Fr example, if yu write the letters f a wrd, SMART Ntebk sftware cmbines the individual letters, enabling yu t interact with the whle wrd. If yu want t write wrds n the same line but dn t want them cmbined, leave a large gap between them, use different pens, r briefly put the pen in the pen tray befre writing anther wrd (interactive whitebards nly).
