Using Ink Aware features in Excel

Excel is Ink Aware, which means that it’s integrated with SMART Product Drivers. What you write or draw on your interactive product’s screen becomes a part of the Excel spreadsheet.

To write or draw in Excel

  1. Display the Excel spreadsheet you want to write in.

  2. Write or draw on your interactive product’s screen.

    The Aware Tools toolbar appears. Depending on your version of Excel, this toolbar either floats on top of the program or appears with the program’s other toolbars.

    Note 

    If the Aware Tools toolbar doesn’t appear, select View > Toolbars > SMART Aware Toolbar.

  3. Press to insert your notes into the Excel spreadsheet as graphics.

    OR

    Press to insert your notes into the Excel spreadsheet as typed text.

    OR

    Press to take a screen capture of your notes and the Excel spreadsheet.

    The screen capture appears in a .notebook file.
