When you write or draw over an open application or in SMART Meeting Pro software, the ink becomes an object that you can move and manipulate.

To write or draw in digital ink

1. Open the SMART Ink dynamic toolbar (see Opening the dynamic toolbar).

2. Press Pens.

3. Select a pen, and then set properties.

   Notes 

   • The available properties depend on the pen you select:

     Property
     Color
     Line
     Line style
     Line start
     Line end
     Thickness
     Transparency

   • If you are writing or drawing digital ink in a Microsoft Office application and Microsoft’s ink tools are enabled (see Changing Microsoft Office settings), press Open Office Ink Tools, and then select a pen and set properties using the Ink Tools ribbon. For more information, see Using SMART Ink with Microsoft Office.

4. Write or draw in digital ink.

   Note 

   If you are writing or drawing digital ink on the desktop, the digital ink appears inside a SMART Ink Note. You can move and close the SMART Ink Note as you would any other window.

Writing and drawing in digital ink at the same time as another user
